How do we measure facial expressions? š DSEC Lab volunteer Kate Cullen put together a brief explanation of two methods researchers can use to measure someoneās facial movements. š Although we donāt know for sure what a particular facial movement means (a smile could indicate feelings of joy, but also politeness or sarcasm!), othersā facial expressions are part of the rich social signals that we humans try to interpret as we move around the world. š
You might already know that the DSEC Lab is interested in how we *learn* to use facial expressions to communicate nonverbally with others. We are currently recruiting 10-15 participants for the EXPRESS-1 study, which focuses on just that! š You can find more information about the study and how to sign up in the link in bio.
