ABSTRACT Guidelines are proposed for the collection, analysis, and description of electromyographic (EMG) data. The guidelines cover technological issues in EMG recording, social aspects experimentation, limits to inferences that can be drawn research. An atlas is facial electrode placements, standard terminology suggested.

Ss viewed a pleasant videotape either: (a) alone, (b) alone but with the belief that friend nearby was otherwise engaged, (c) viewing same in another room, or (d) when present. S'ssmiling, as estimated by facial electromyography, varied monotonically sociality of not reported emotion. The findings confirm audience effects for human smiles, demonstrate do depend upon presence interactant, and indicate smiles are better predicted social context than Both naive expert independent raters given...

ABSTRACT A multivariate pattern‐classification system was developed for the study of facial electromy‐ographic (EMG) patterning in 12 female subjects during affect‐laden imagery and posed expressions. parameter‐extraction procedure identified dynamic EMG signal properties which accorded maximal degree self‐reported emotion discrimination. Discriminant analyses on trialwise vectors allowed assessment specific EMG‐site conformations typifying rated emotions happiness, sadness, anger, fear. The...

Abstract Unlike the aphasias, visuospatial dysfunction has resisted fractionation into meaningful spared and impaired component functions. In this study, we show that unilateral brain damage results in pronounced dissociations both hierarchical hemispatial processing. Patients with left-hemisphere showed greatest impairment drawing forms at lower level of stimuli presented right hemispace, whereas patients right-hemisphere compromise displayed opposite pattern. We discuss implications these...

Research and theory in nonverbal communication have made great advances toward understanding the patterns functions of behavior social settings. Progress has been hindered, we argue, by presumptions about that follow from both received wisdom faulty evidence. In this article, document four persistent misconceptions communication-namely, people communicate using decodable body language; they a stable personal space which regulate contact with others; express emotion universal, evolved,...

Research has suggested that criminal punishment decisions are driven primarily by retribution and retributive judgments achieved a process of abstract moral reasoning. However, problems with construct validity limit confidence in these conclusions. Study 1 (N 254) used experimentally manipulated vignettes to isolate motives. Participants’ sentencing recommendations were strongly provoked indices (criminal intent) even when the most common consequentialist reasons for (offender dangerousness...

The facial responses of seven female subjects were videotaped while they smelled six odors in each three experimental conditions (spontaneous, posing to real and imagined odors). Videotaping was covert the spontaneous condition overt posed conditions. Raters (N = 65) shown videotapes asked judge whether something unpleasant, neutral or pleasant. correct only 37% their judgements when not aware being observed. Raters' accuracy improved significantly (76% correct) correct). Faces made...

ABSTRACT A circuit is described which provides a varying DC voltage proportional to the envelope of raw electromyographic waveform. The design inexpensive, employs readily available integrated circuitry, and includes selectable gain integration time constants.

Evidence collected by Beck, Levinson, and Irons (2009) indicates that Albert B., the "lost" infant subject of John B. Watson Rosalie Rayner's (1920) famous conditioning study, was Douglas Merritte (1919-1925). Following finding died early with hydrocephalus, questions arose as to whether Douglas's condition congenital, rather than acquired in 1922, cited on his death certificate. This etiology would imply "Little Albert" not "healthy" "normal" described numerous secondary sources. Detailed...
