This subcortical pathway involves the superior culliculi, the pulvinar, and the amygdala, and can detect stimuli that potentially require a fight or flight response, such as snakes, spiders, and fearful faces (see also Panksepp, 2004b). Next to the low road, there is a ‘high road’, ...
Similarly, the “priming” with “sad” music was associated with more ratings of faces as “sad,” even if they were neutral. The team also observed the effects of musical “priming” in electrophysiological measures of brain potential components within 100 milliseconds after the faces were prese...
Groups of autistic and non-autistic retarded adolescents and young adults, individually matched for CA and verbal MA, together with a group of normal young children individually matched for verbal MA, were tested for their ability to name photographs of emotionally expressive faces and emotion-...
(1996) showed that the amygdala in humans responds differentially in subjects shown facial expressions of fear and happiness, with the neuronal response in the left amygdala significantly greater to fearful versus happy faces. Damasio (2002) in a series of studies has argued that the term ‘emoti...

Three age groups of participants (6–8 years, 9–11 years, adults) performed two tasks: A face recognition task and a Garner task. In the face recognition task, the participants were presented with 20 faces and then had to recognize them among 20 new faces. In the Garner tasks, the ...
This step ensures that the extracted faces are aligned to a consistent position. These anchors come in different sizes (scales) and aspect ratios. For example, there might be small square anchors, tall rectangular anchors, and wide rectangular anchors. ImSSD generates a set of default anchors, ...

for example, might grin widely in delight at something as simple as a parent’s playful gesture, but just as swiftly, the corners of their mouth will turn downward to express their displeasure or frustration. Over time, children observe the adults around them, learning which expressions are de...
for example, faces similar problems, in that emotion is as multifaceted a phenomenon as religion. Broadly conceived ‘cognitive’ approaches to religion may give useful coherence, as they are currently doing in thepsychology of emotion. The psychology of religion interfaces with many other areas of...
