The psychological and neural mechanisms for the facial mimicry in response to dynamic facial expressions

通过心理和神经影像学实验，探讨动态面部表情对面部模仿的心理和神经机制。利用肌电记录的心理实验结果表明，动态面部表情诱发面部模仿，面部模仿与情绪激发和情绪识别有关。神经成像实验揭示了参与动态面部表情处理的神经网络。

We conducted the psychological and neuroimaging experiments to investigate the psychological and neural mechanisms for the facial mimicry in response to dynamic facial expressions. The results of psychological experiments using electromyography recordings showed that dynamic facial expressions elicited facial mimicry and the facial mimicry was related to emotion elicitation and emotion recognition. Neuroimaging experiments revealed the neural network involved in the processing of dynamic facial expressions.
