Reading Emotional Pose
This project investigates how people interpret emotional poses. For example, we are interested in whether age differences in the interpretation of emotional poses depend on the age of the posing persons. Investigations of this possibility has been facilitated by the development of an extensive new dataset providing a large age range of individuals showing different facial expressions: the FACES Lifespan Database of Facial Expressions.
