MAQFACS: MEASURING FACIAL MOVEMENT IN RHESUS MONKEYS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这是一个开发客观编码系统来测量恒河猴面部运动的项目，涉及亚利桑那州图森大学的分包合同。它有3个主要组成部分。 我们的第一个目标是刺激猕猴的面部肌肉，以验证特定肌肉收缩所产生的动作。接下来，我们将对恒河猴面部肌肉进行解剖，以验证这些肌肉的存在和一般形态。 最后，我们将从视频中验证该物种自然发生的面部运动范围，并开发MaqFACS编码系统。前两个目标已经完成，最后一个目标已进入最后阶段。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This is a project to develop an objective coding system for measuring facial movement in rhesus monkeys involving a subcontract with University of Arizona Tucson. There are 3 main components. Our first objective is to stimulate the facial muscles of rhesus monkeys to verify the actions resulting from specific muscle contraction. Next, we will perform dissections of rhesus monkey facial muscles to validate the presence and general configuration of these muscles. Finally, we will verify the range of facial movements occurring naturally in this species from video and develop the MaqFACS coding system. The first two aims have been completed and the last aim is in its final stages.
