Dynamic Facial Expression of Emotion and Observer Inference
Measuring facial expression of emotion
Emotional facial expressions play a critical role in theories of emotion and figure prominently in research on almost every aspect of emotion.

The novel approach taken in this study was also used to establish whether a given expression was perceived as intended by untrained judges. The judgment task for perceivers was designed to be sensitive to subtle changes in meaning caused by the way an emotional display was evoked and expressed. Consequently, this allowed us to measure the purity and intensity of emotional displays, which are parameters that validation methods used by other researchers do not capture.
