Chapter 2 Facial Action Coding System (FACS) 2.1 What is Facial Action Coding System? Facial Action Coding System (FACS) is the most widely used and versatile method for measuring and describing facial behaviors. Paul Ekman andWallace V. Friesen, psychologists developed the FACS in the 1970. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) research tool is an sophisticated, internationally recog- nized, that precisely measures the entire spectrum of human facial expressions. The minutest movements of the human face , FACS remains the acclaimed and most widely used method for coding. FACS has claried the physiological pres- ence of emotion with very high levels of reliability. It has predicted patterns which related to deception at about 80.

FACS has played an integral part in the 7 Figure 2.1: Facial Muscles breakdown and identication of the various muscles. 2.2 How FACS Works? Emotional expression crosses the obstacles of age , culture, gender, religion, race, and ethnicity. A FACS coder "dissects" an observed expression. Decom- pose it into the specic AUs which produced the movement. which represent the contraction or relaxation of one or more muscles. And Scores for a facial expression consist of the list of AUs that produced it. Asymmetry, intensity and duration can also be recorded. Example : During Smile the zygomaticus major muscle is activated, which corresponds to AU12. During Duchenne smile the orbicularis oculi muscle is activated, which corre- sponds to AU6. 8 AU Related Emotions Muscle Name 1 Inner Brow Raiser Frontalis (pars medialis) 2 Outer Brow Raiser Frontalis (pars lateralis) 4 Brow Lowerer Corrugator and Depressor supercilii 5 Upper Lid Raiser Levator palpebrae superioris 6 Cheek Raiser Orbicularis oculi (pars
The inability to purse the lips and show the teeth of the affected side is due to paralysis of which muscle? The inability to purse the lips and show the teeth of the affected side is due to paralysis of the orbicularis oris facial muscle, which is innervated by the facial nerve (N VII). b. The absence of the mimic expression of smile and laughter is the result of the dysfunction of numerous facial muscles; name four.
1. Compare the reaction times for voluntary vs. involuntary activation of the quadriceps muscle. What might account for the observed differences in reaction times? Outline what has to occur in the body for each reaction to occur. Refer to your drawing from Step 23.
People with damaged amygdala’s may be blind to emotion and are unable to read understand other people’s emotional expressions. Basic facial expressions appear fairly universal such as, angry, sad, happy, scheming, and neutral. In other cultures, around the world, different emotions are more or less
“You’d look so much prettier if you smiled,” a statement that can send chills up any woman’s spine, but they grit their teeth and force a fake expression of sincerity to avoid confrontation. Sarah Jaffe’s article “Grin and Abhor it; The Truth Behind Service with a Smile” discusses the hardship and struggle women must face in the service industry by selling their personality to create a more intimate relationship with their customers. This has created a problem because now male patrons are believing that female service workers are romantically attracted to them due to this false intimacy, which is degrading and emotionally taxing on the worker's behalf. Jaffe’s article suggests that perhaps you shouldn’t give the local grocery bagger or barista
I would adapt my communication for a child by making sure I was speaking to them at a level they will understand & also choose words suitable for their age. I would also make sure I come down to their level whether that meant sitting or kneeling so that we are at the same level. Physically we are on an equal level and not towering over them which wont make a great start for effective or positive communication and could make the child feel uneasy. Young children tend to be more tactile and may need to express them selves with touch especially if they come to you upset about something. They may simply wish to hold your hand when they talk to you which can be reassuring both physically and also make them feel they have you attention and will listen
Give your personal comment on the article as a conclusion of your article review. Reading, understanding, and applying facial expression are very interested. This article brings the reader to know about a guy who is really expert in facial expression. We can know how he works when he was a Sheriff in Los Angles Country and his experiences in patrol which always meet with the criminal issues there. And by reading it, I realized that it is important to learn how to read people’s thought just by looking at them to prevent ourselves from doing anything rashly and
Introduction of Question 5: Emotion Emotion is often defined as a complex state of feeling that results in physical and psychological changes that influence thought and behavior, it involves mental arousal, expressive behaviors, and conscious experience (Meyers, 2004), and there is no consensus on a definition. Ekman (1999) classified that anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness and surprise are six basic emotions, and Fitness (2015) stated that all emotions are important and serve functions, and the degree that others will respond to our needs and the degree that we feel accountable for others’ needs will lead to greater emotional expression, feeling and expressing emotions to the relationship partner can strengthen relationships
When an argument arises, everyone has the choice to either talk it out face-to-face, talk over technology, or to ignore the issue and let it get worse. This has been displayed recently by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The movie-documentary “My so Called Enemy” shows how face-to-face interactions might help the conflict subside, but not exactly how it works. The evidence that is provided below shows that face-to-face interactions may be able to help resolve issues better than non-face-to-face interactions. Face-to-face interactions can help with resolving issues for many reasons.
After long years of preparing for this film, anticipation, loads of hype, Avatar, produced by James Cameron was finally set to come out in 2009. What was all this rage about? Is it worth watching? Can this director live up to the title of another big film? As the slogan goes, “you’d have to see it to believe it.”
There are four steps in the muscle contraction cycle. At the beginning of contraction, the sarcoplasmic reticulum releases ca2+ into the sarcoplasm where they will bind to troponin. Troponin then moves tropomyosin away from the myosin binding sites on actin. Once binding sites are free the contraction cycle will begin. Step one of the contraction cycle is ATP Hydrolysis.
On the complement, face identification is a 1: N problem. It is used compares a query face image against all image templates in a face database. Face recognition has distinct advantages over biometrics systems using finger print/palm print and iris, because of its non-contact process. It is mainly used in security systems. Face images can be captured from a distance without touching the person and the identification does not require interacting with the person.
The cognitive level of analysis aims to study how the inner processes of the mind processes information gained, and how they are interpreted and applied into the real world. Within this level of analysis, it was found that the cognitive and biological factors of our mind influence how we feel, or in other words, our emotions. Emotion can be defined as the body’s response to any specific situation. As all human beings can express how they feel through facial expressions, this suggests that emotions are biological rather than cognitive. However, emotions can be dependent on both the cognitive and biological factors of our body.
Also people make variety of expressions which are all unique depending upon what they are feeling at that particular moment. That would make multiple permutation and combination of determining the motive. Conclusion All in all, the characteristics of a person can be approximately determined by their facial nature. Physiognomy is a skill that needs less yet continuous practice.
It is also known as nonverbal communication. This type of communication includes no words but gesture, body language, eye contact, posture or facial expressions. When we interact with others, we continuously exchange wordless signals. A considerable part of nonverbal communication is facial expressions as these indicate others about our feeling, attitudes, states of mind and relationships. Facial expression also plays a major role in communication since the expression on our face say a lot about our mood.
The two key topics in class in the last weeks, for me. Two of the most relevant topics developed in the last weeks were: non-verbal communication and the barriers to communication. Everytime we communicate with another person or group of people, we have to take into account some factors other than what we are actually saying that can affect how the message is going to be received: body language, tone, intonation, facial expressions, and others; this is what we understand for non-verbal communication. As we saw in class “55% of communication is body language, 38% is the tone of voice, and 7% is the actual words spoken.”
