Geometric morphometrics for the study of facial expression of pain in common marmosets

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This study aims to quantify changes in facial expression in common marmosets in relation to a routine painful procedure, and validate these changes against traditional pain-related behaviours. In FY2022, I continued to build upon my preliminary analysis of the facial expressions and general behaviour of common marmosets. I expect to complete the full analysis this summer. I also completed work on a separate, but related, project on hormonal and behavioural responses to visual social cues in common marmosets. In addition, I established a new collaboration between Kyoto University, CIEA, and the University of Newcastle, UK, on the automated scoring of marmoset behaviour and facial expressions.
