Deficits in social cognition including facial affect recognition and their detrimental effects on functional outcome are well established in schizophrenia. Structured training can have substantial effects on social cognitive measures including facial affect recognition. Elucidating training effects on cortical mechanisms involved in facial affect recognition may identify causes of dysfunctional...

Facial expression recognition provides rich information for human-robot interaction with respect to emotions. This paper presents a facial expression recognition method that recognizes facial expressions as well as intensity and mixture ratio of basic facial expressions. In this system, K-means clustering method is applied on Cohn-Kanade image database. Algorithms are adopted to align the input...

Facial expressions provide valuable information in making judgments about internal emotional states. Evaluation of facial expressions can occur through mimicry processes via the mirror neuron system (MNS) pathway, where a decoder mimics a target’s facial expression and proprioceptive perception prompts emotion recognition. Female participants rated emotional facial expressions when mimicry was ...

----------------------------------------------------------------***-----------------------------------------------------------------Abstract The automatic Facial Expression Recognition has been one of the latest research topic since 1990's. Face Expression plays an important role in human communication. This paper presents a high-level overview of automatic expression recognition; it highlights...

Automatic detection of facial feature points plays an important role in applications such as facial feature tracking, human-machine interaction and face recognition. The majority of facial feature points detection methods using two-dimensional or three-dimensional data are covered in existing survey papers. In this article chosen approaches to the facial features detection have been gathered an...

The majority of mood-congruent memory research has confirmed the existence of a memory bias for affectively toned words or phrases. However, the current study investigated a memory bias for emotional facial expressions, in induced and naturally occurring mood states. In experiment 1 twenty-five dysphoric participants and twenty non-dysphoric participants were presented with a set of emotional f...

Facial Expressions play an important role in recognizing the human emotions without any verbal communication. Face emotion recognition is one of the main applications of computer vision. The research of emotion recognition includes facial expressions, voice recognition, gesture recognition, text etc. For efficient human-computer interaction, recognizing human emotional state is an important com...
