Summary: A study found impaired emotion recognition in adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Two major design features of previous studies limit the application of results to real-world contexts. To address these limitations, a new task was created to more closely approximate how adults with TBI label facial emotions beyond the lab.

Summary: This study used a novel wearable surface electromyography to investigate the affective states induced by different videos. The results showed that subjective valence, subjective arousal, and objective valence measured through sEMG varied significantly depending on the video content.

Summary: While disturbed EDA responses were frequently reported in patients with TBI, other measures did not consistently indicate an impairment in PR. These discrepancies could be due to the lesion pattern resulting from TBI, methodological differences concerning the measurements and their standardization, and the characteristics of the patients. Proposed methodological recommendations aim to improve inter-study comparisons and standardization in physiological data analysis. Future research should converge towards a common methodology to enhance consistency in physiological measurements.

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.

Summary: Diminished social functioning is often observed after traumatic brain injury (TBI), potentially due to impaired ability to recognize facial expressions. This study used eye-tracking technology and behavioral measures to investigate the performance of TBI patients on static and dynamic emotion recognition tasks. The results showed that TBI patients had atypical eye scan patterns and lower identification accuracy compared to non-TBI individuals. These findings suggest disruption to oculomotor systems and may contribute to diminished social functioning.

Summary: This study found that remitted patients of bipolar disorder had deficits in facial emotion recognition, while first-degree relatives showed no significant differences compared to healthy controls. Lower facial emotion recognition scores were associated with lower social quality of life and functioning.

Summary: This study proposes a system-level explanation for understanding the facial emotion recognition process and its alteration in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from the perspective of predictive processing theory. Through the use of hierarchical recurrent neural networks (RNNs), the research showed that impaired facial emotion recognition in ASD can be explained by altered predictive processing, providing possible insight for investigating the neurophysiological basis of affective contact.

Summary: The combined visual scanning and verbal cuing intervention technique effectively improved facial affect recognition in TBI patients. BR struggled the most with labeling negative facial expressions, while a ceiling effect was observed for positive expressions at baseline.

Summary: Successful parenting requires constant inference of affective states and correct identification of facial affect. Previous studies have shown that infant faces are processed preferentially compared to adult faces. This study found increased activation in face processing areas and areas associated with social understanding for both mothers and non-mothers when processing child faces. Additionally, motherhood modulated the child-evoked activation with an increase observed in the left precuneus.

Summary: This paper proposes a framework for extracting three-dimensional facial spatio-temporal features from monocular image sequences using an extended 3D Morphable Model (3DMM), which disentangles the identity factor from facial expressions of a specific person. An LSTM model is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed spatio-temporal features on video-based facial expression recognition task and continuous affect recognition task. The experimental results demonstrate the potential of the proposed 3D spatio-temporal features for facial expressions analysis and continuous affect recognition, as well as their efficiency compared to recent state-of-the-art features.

Summary: Nonverbal emotion recognition accuracy (ERA) is essential for successful communication, and two different training programs focusing on multimodal expressions and micro expressions respectively were evaluated. Results showed that the training program focusing on multimodal expressions was more effective in improving overall ERA, while the one focusing on micro expressions was more effective in improving micro expression ERA specifically. Transfer effects of the training programs were not observed, and participants with lower baseline ERA showed more improvements.

Summary: This study investigated humans' ability to recognize facial expressions represented by a small set of landmarks and differences in conscious observational behaviors. The results show that humans can recognize positive expressions with high accuracy, but recognition of negative expressions is not as high. Personality traits and observational behaviors significantly influence the recognition of facial expressions.

Summary: A study found that facial emotion recognition deficits are common after moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are linked to poor social outcomes. This study examined whether emotion recognition deficits extend to facial expressions depicted by emoji. The results showed that participants with TBI did not significantly differ from neurotypical peers in overall emotion labeling accuracy, but both groups had poorer labeling accuracy for emoji compared to faces.

Summary: This meta-analysis found marked global impairments in emotion recognition among TBI patients, with the greatest impairment observed for negative emotions (i.e., anger and fear). The study also did not find any evidence to suggest that the magnitude of impairment is influenced by injury severity or modality of stimulus presentation.

Summary: The study examined the use of a custom iPad application called Rehab Portal to provide inpatient brain injury rehabilitation clients with access to short videos discussing their rehabilitation goals. Engagement with the platform varied among the clients, with some experiencing disruptions to established routines and added burden. Despite mixed results, the study suggests that approaches using asynchronous video communication may have future potential in clinician-client communication and warrant further investigation.

Summary: The study found that a six-week, one-on-one MBI course can improve the mood of stroke survivors, with most participants finding the session duration appropriate and enjoying the personalized face-to-face format. While some participants felt the baseline assessment package was too long, emotional challenges in some practices were effectively managed by adjusting the practices with the guidance of the mindfulness facilitator.
