Humans and other primate species are experts at recognizing body expressions. To
understand the underlying perceptual mechanisms, we computed postural and kinematic …

Social species perceive emotion via extracting diagnostic features of body movements.
Although extensive studies have contributed to knowledge on how the entire body is used …

Humans are experts at recognizing intent and emotion from other people's body movements;
however, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we computed …

During communication, we perceive and express emotional information through many
different channels, including facial expressions, prosody, body motion, and posture …

Body language is a powerful tool that we use to communicate how we feel, but it is unclear
whether other primates also communicate in this way. Here, we use functional magnetic …

Experimental and computational studies suggest that complex motor behavior is based on
simpler spatio-temporal primitives, or synergies. This has been demonstrated by application …

Body postures provide clear signals about emotional expressions, but so far it is not clear
what muscle patterns are associated with specific emotions. This study lays the groundwork …

Research into the visual perception of human emotion has traditionally focused on the facial
expression of emotions. Recently researchers have turned to the more challenging field of …

Emotion perception interacts with how we think and speak, including our concept of
emotions. Body expression is an important way of emotion communication, but it is unknown …

Research on the perception of biological human motion shows that people are able to infer
emotional states by observing body movements. This article reviews the methodology …
