最近的研究将面部表情与思维感知联系起来。具体来说，Bowling和Banissy（2017）发现，模糊的玩偶-人类变体被认为在微笑时更有可能有思想。在这里，我们调查3个关键的潜在的边界条件，这种“表达到头脑”的效果。首先，我们证明，脸反转损害的能力，快乐的表情信号的正念状态在静态的面孔，但是，反转不破坏这种效果的动态显示的情绪。最后，我们证明了并非所有的情绪都有相同的效果。虽然快乐的面孔比中性面孔产生更多的心理归属，但我们发现厌恶的表情实际上比快乐的表情产生更少的心理归属。
Recent research has linked facial expressions to mind perception. Specifically, Bowling and Banissy (2017) found that ambiguous doll-human morphs were judged as more likely to have a mind when smiling. Herein, we investigate 3 key potential boundary conditions of this "expression-to-mind" effect. First, we demonstrate that face inversion impairs the ability of happy expressions to signal mindful states in static faces; however, inversion does not disrupt this effect for dynamic displays of emotion. Finally, we demonstrate that not all emotions have equivalent effects. Whereas happy faces generate more mind ascription compared to neutral faces, we find that expressions of disgust actually generate less mind ascription than those of happiness.
