A method for diagnosing depression: Facial expression mimicry is evaluated by facial expression recognition

Gang Fu et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate voluntary expression mimicry by facial expression recognition for diagnosing depression. Participants performed a voluntary expression mimicry task, posing different emotions. Healthy raters evaluated the expressions imitated by participants. Emotional scores were calculated to measure any differences between two groups of participants and provided a basis for clinical diagnosis of depression.

Feasibility of Group-Based Multiple Virtual Reality Sessions to Reduce Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms in Persons Living in Residential Aged Care

Rachel E. Brimelow et al.

Summary: Using fully immersive virtual reality (VR) in multiple sessions can reduce behavioral and psychological symptoms (BPS) in aged care residents, including depression, anxiety, and agitated behaviors, leading to reduced depressive symptoms and apathy, and inducing a positive emotional response.

Preferential looking studies of trustworthiness detection confound structural and expressive cues to facial trustworthiness

Adam Eggleston et al.

Summary: When encountering strangers, we tend to attribute certain character traits to them based on their facial appearance. It has been found that infants show a preference for faces that adults consider trustworthy. However, further examination suggests that the stimuli used in these studies may have mixed trustworthiness with the presence of other facial expressions. Therefore, the preferential looking effects observed in infants may be more related to facial expressions than structural face cues.

EmBody/EmFace as a new open tool to assess emotion recognition from body and face expressions

Lea L. Lott et al.

Summary: Nonverbal expressions play a significant role in social interaction by providing information about another person's intentions and feelings. A new open source paradigm has been developed to assess emotion recognition from both 3D-animated emotional body expressions and emotionally corresponding dynamic faces. The validation data demonstrates the effectiveness and reliability of this tool in assessing and comparing emotion recognition from body and face stimuli.

Is a downwards head tilt a cross-cultural signal of dominance? Evidence for a universal visual illusion

Zachary Witkower et al.

Summary: This study provides the first evidence that a downwards head tilt is sufficient to communicate dominance in the Mayangna society. This suggests that perceptions of dominance formed from a downwards head tilt are a widely applicable feature in human psychology.

Virtual reality in the treatment of eating disorders

Giuseppe Riva et al.

Summary: Virtual reality has provided innovative solutions for targeting different key symptoms of eating disorders over the past 25 years, showing clinical value in areas such as VR cue exposure and reference frame shifting. While VR exposure and reference frame shifting techniques have significant research support and potential advantages over traditional cognitive-behavioural therapy for bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, emerging VR applications like multisensory body illusions and attentional bias modification still require further research despite preliminary data support.

Validation of dynamic virtual faces for facial affect recognition

Patricia Fernandez-Sotos et al.

Summary: The study used dynamic virtual faces to simulate rich emotional expressions, and the results showed that these virtual faces were as effective as natural faces in reproducing facial expressions, and even more accurate in recognizing emotions. Age and gender seemed to have no significant impact on facial emotion recognition.

Facial emotion recognition in major depressive disorder: A meta-analytic review

Fernando C. Krause et al.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis of 23 studies on facial emotion recognition accuracy in MDD patients, showing that those in inpatient settings and with severe symptom severity were less accurate in recognizing happy facial expressions. Studies with longer stimulus durations also found lower accuracy levels in depressed participants.

Accuracy in recognising happy facial expressions is associated with antidepressant response to a NOP receptor antagonist but not placebo treatment

Gerard R. Dawson et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of the novel NOP antagonist LY2940094 on early emotional processing in depression, finding that early induction of positive bias was associated with reduced severity of depression after treatment. This suggests that emotional processing biomarkers may be sensitive to early effects of antidepressant treatment and indicative of later clinical response, with potential for developing new treatments and predicting antidepressant response in clinical trial designs.

Impaired recognition of nonverbal expressions of emotions in depressed individuals

Katharina Huemmer et al.

Summary: The study found that impaired recognition of emotions in depressed individuals is not specific to body parts, but depressive symptoms seem to be related to the recognition of bodily expressions of happiness. Future studies should explore whether impairments in depressive individuals are related to nonverbal expressions of the whole body.

Seeing sadness: Comorbid effects of loneliness and depression on emotional face processing

Survjit Cheeta et al.

Summary: Loneliness and depression are highly comorbid and both impact social information processing, with loneliness being associated with accuracy in identifying sad faces and depression influencing accuracy in identifying happy faces. Comorbid loneliness and depression lead to misattribution of neutral faces as sad, a phenomenon seen in those who are lonely or depressed only as well.
