Video-based dynamic facial emotion recognition (FER) is a challenging task, as one must capture and distinguish tiny movements representing emotional changes while ignoring the differences of different objects. Recent state-of-the-art studies have usually adopted more complex methods to solve this such large-scale deep learning models or multimodal analysis with reference multiple sub-models. A...

Introduction: There is a growing demand for non-invasive methods with no down time and minimal risk for facial skin rejuvenation and treatment of wrinkles. The Maximus system, based on TriLipo technology, combines radiofrequency and Dynamic Muscle Activation (DMA). We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the MaximusTM system for the treatment of facial wrinkles. Methods: Twenty women received 8...

Research on perception of facial expressions has neglected an important characteristic of facial expression, its dynamic property. In this dissertation, two experiments were conducted to assess the effect of motion on perception of facial expressions and to test three (3) possible mechanisms by which motion facilitates perception of facial expressions. (1) motion provides more static informatio...
