Perceiving Bodily Expressions: Differential Effects of Human & Non-human Forms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Theories in embodied cognitive science emphasize the importance of self-other mapping during emotion perception. This implies the body form through which an emotion is expressed may impact how the emotion is perceived. Research in human computer interaction has demonstrated that people can reliably label emotions of virtual characters; however, it has hardly examined how people perceive the emotions of virtual characters at a visceral level. Here, we asked participants to identify under time pressure for action, whether an observed bodily movement is angry or happy. Our research provides evidence that emotions conveyed by nonhuman virtual characters and humans are indeed perceived differentially, at the visceral level. This work carries implications for theories of embodied cognition and the design of virtual environments.

Fear detection and visual awareness in perceiving bodily expressions.
Many research reports have concluded that emotional information can be processed without observers being aware of it. The case for perception without awareness has almost always been made with the use of facial expressions. In view of the similarities between facial and bodily expressions for rapid perception and communication of emotional signals, we conjectured that perception of bodily expre...
متن کاملThe Body as a Tool for Anger Awareness—Differential Effects of Angry Facial and Bodily Expressions on Suppression from Awareness
Emotional signals are perceived whether or not we are aware of it. The evidence so far mostly came from studies with facial expressions. Here, we investigated whether the pattern of non-conscious face expression perception is found for whole body expressions. Continuous flash suppression (CFS) was used to measure the time for neutral, fearful, and angry facial or bodily expressions to break fro...
متن کاملSimilarities and differences in perceiving threat from dynamic faces and bodies. An fMRI study
Neuroscientific research on the perception of emotional signals has mainly focused on how the brain processes threat signals from photographs of facial expressions. Much less is known about body postures or about the processing of dynamic images. We undertook a systematic comparison of the neurofunctional network dedicated to processing facial and bodily expressions. Two functional magnetic res...
متن کاملThe role of "memory" (treasury of meaning) and "imagination" (treasury of face) of the architect in shaping the process of creating and perceiving architectural works based on the view of transcendent wisdom
The issue of how the process of creating and perceiving architectural works and the factors affecting it is an important, multidimensional and interdisciplinary category. However, at present, the process of formation of architectural works in most studies is based on superficial perceptions of human perception and at best depends on the five human senses and, of course, usually limited to some ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Long Non-Coding RNAs: HNF1A-AS1 and MVIH Expressions and Their Clinical Significance in Human Gastric Cancer
Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Late diagnosis is the main cause of the high rate of treatment failure and death among patients with gastric cancer; therefore identifying the molecular basis of cancer initiation and metastasis is so critical for developing efficient methods for early diagnosis and therapy. long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are the largest group of no...
