According to embodied simulation theories, others’ emotions are recognized by the unconscious mimicking of observed facial expressions, which requires implicit activation motor programs that produce a specific expression. Motor responses performed during expression given emotion hypothesized be directly linked autonomic associated with emotional behavior. We tested this hypothesis in 9 children (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
Rehabilitation after free gracilis muscle transfer (smile surgery, SS) is crucial for a functional recovery of the smiling skill, mitigating social and psychological problems resulting from facial paralysis. We compared two post-SS rehabilitation treatments: traditional based on teeth clenching exercises FIT-SAT (facial imitation synergistic activity treatment). FIT-SAT, observation/imitation therapy hand-mouth motor synergies would facilitate neuronal in cortex avoiding unwanted...
Temporal dynamics of behavior, particularly facial expressions, are fundamental for communication between individuals from very early in development. Facial expression processing has been widely demonstrated to involve embodied simulative processes mediated by the motor system. Such may be impaired patients with congenital palsy, including those affected Moebius syndrome (MBS). The aims this study were investigate (a) role mechanisms dynamic timing testing palsy and (b) age-dependent effects...
