Facial emotion recognition is an inherently complex problem due to individual diversity in facial features and racial cultural differences. Moreover, expressions typically reflect the mixture of people’s emotional statuses, which can be expressed using compound emotions. Compound makes even more difficult because discrimination between dominant complementary emotions usually weak. We have creat...

It is unclear whether individuals with autism are impaired at recognizing basic facial expressions, and whether, if any impairment exists, it applies to expression processing in general, or to certain expressions, in particular. To evaluate these alternatives, we adopted a fine-grained analysis of facial expression processing in autism. Specifically, we used the 'facial expression megamix' para...

This thesis presents work concerning the analysis of behaviour specific facial motion and its automatic synthesis. Psychology research has shown that facial motion provides important cues to the human visual system for recognition of emotion, identity and gender. Similarly, in Computer Vision facial motion information has been used in face and facial expression recognition. However, the fact th...

Facial expression of emotions is a powerful vehicle for communicating information about others' emotional states and it normally induces facial mimicry in the observers. The aim of this study was to investigate if early aversive experiences could interfere with emotion recognition, facial mimicry, and with the autonomic regulation of social behaviors. We conducted a facial emotion recognition t...

The ventromedial prefrontal cortex has been implicated in a variety of emotion processes. However, findings regarding the role of this region specifically in emotion recognition have been mixed. We used a sensitive facial emotion recognition task to compare the emotion recognition performance of 7 subjects with lesions confined to ventromedial prefrontal regions, 8 subjects with lesions elsewhe...

Dr. A. K. Deshmane Principal, JSPM’S, B.I.T,, Bharshi (Maharashtra), India Abstract— Emotion of a person plays important role in life because we cannot express our feelings or emotions in words, facial expression or gesture to express emotions. A human face does not only identify an individual but also communicates useful information about a person’s emotional state. Facial Expression gives imp...

Adequate emotion recognition is relevant to individuals’ interpersonal communication. Patients with frontal traumatic brain injury (TBI) exhibit a lower response to facial emotional stimuli, influencing social interactions. In this sense, the main goal of the current study was to assess the ability of TBI patients in recognizing basic emotions. Photographs of facial expressions of five basic em...

OBJECTIVE This article includes the examination of potential methodological problems of the application of a forced choice response format in facial emotion recognition. METHODOLOGY 33 subjects were presented with validated facial stimuli. The task was to make a decision about which emotion was shown. In addition, the subjective certainty concerning the decision was recorded. RESULTS The de...

We consider two novel representations and feature extraction schemes for automatic recognition of emotion related facial expressions. In one scheme facial landmark points are tracked over successive video frames using an effective detector and tracker to extract landmark trajectories. Features are extracted from landmark trajectories using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) method. In the alt...

Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (PNLE) affects limbic portions of the brain associated with recognition of social signals of emotions. Yet it is not known whether this perceptual ability is impaired in individuals with PNLE. We therefore conducted a single case study to explore possible impairments in recognising facially, vocally and bodily expressed emotions, using standardised emotion rec...
