Transgressing boundaries of grievability: Ambiguous emotions at pet cemeteries

Transgressing the boundaries of science: Glazer, scepticism, and Emily's experiment.

Programming Research Group TRANSGRESSING THE BOUNDARIES: UNIFIED SCALABLE PARALLEL PROGRAMMING

The diverse architectural features of parallel computers, and the lack of commonly accepted parallel-programming environments, meant that software development for these systems has been signi cantly more di cult than the sequential case. Until better approaches are developed, the programming environment will remain a serious obstacle to mainstream scalable parallel computing. The work reported ...

Inherently Ambiguous: Facial Expressions of Emotions, in Context

With a few yet increasing number of exceptions, the cognitive sciences enthusiastically endorsed the idea that there are basic facial expressions of emotions that are created by specific configurations of facial muscles. We review evidence that suggests an inherent role for context in emotion perception. Context does not merely change emotion perception at the edges; it leads to radical categor...

Emotions facilitate the communication of ambiguous group memberships.

It is well known that emotions intersect with obvious social categories (e.g., race), influencing both how targets are categorized and the emotions that are read from their faces. Here, we examined the influence of emotional expression on the perception of less obvious group memberships for which, in the absence of obvious and stable physical markers, emotion may serve as a major avenue for gro...
