The Assessment of Pain Using Facial Expressions in Laboratory Rodents
نویسنده
چکیده
Pain in animals is of considerable public concern, particularly where animals are used in biomedical research. Pain can compromise not only animal welfare, but also the validity of scientific results. In order to alleviate pain, we need to be able to assess its severity and duration effectively [1]. If we cannot do this then we are unable to provide adequate pain management or to develop more effective and humane endpoints.

Assessment of pain in small laboratory animals using behaviour and facial expressions
Considerable advances have been made in assessing pain in laboratory animals through the evaluation of behavioural and postural changes. Successful implementation of such assessments depends on establishing which behaviours and postures indicate pain and which areas of the body to focus on to observe these indicators. Failure to observe all relevant body areas will prevent successful use of beh...
متن کاملDiscordant Relationship Between Evaluation of Facial Expression and Subjective Pain Rating Due to the Low Pain Magnitude
Introduction: Facial expression to pain is an important pain indicator; however, facial movements look unresponsive when perceiving mild pain. The present study investigates whether pain magnitude modulates the relationship between subjective pain rating and an observer’s evaluation of facial expression. Methods: Twelve healthy volunteers were recruited to obtain 108 samples for pa...

Can facial expressions be used for pain assessment in macaques? Professor Paul Flecknell, Newcastle University, UK Our current ability to assess pain in non-human primates is very limited. Similar problems occur in other species of animals, but over the last decade behaviour-based pain assessment systems have been developed for a range of companion, farm and laboratory species. In contrast, the...
متن کاملAnalysis and Synthesis of Facial Expressions by Feature-Points Tracking and Deformable Model
Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...
متن کاملFacial Expression Recognition Based on Anatomical Structure of Human Face
Automatic analysis of human facial expressions is one of the challenging problems in machine vision systems. It has many applications in human-computer interactions such as, social signal processing, social robots, deceit detection, interactive video and behavior monitoring. In this paper, we develop a new method for automatic facial expression recognition based on facial muscle anatomy and hum...
