We investigated the minimum expressive intensity that is required to recognize (above chance) static and dynamic facial expressions of happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, fear, and surprise. To this end, we varied the degree of intensity of emotional expressions unfolding from a neutral face, by means of graphics morphing software. The resulting face stimuli (photographs and short videos) were presented in an expression categorization task for 1 s each, and measures of sensitivity or discrimination (A') were collected to establish thresholds. A number of physical, perceptual, categorical, and affective controls were performed. All six basic emotions were reliably recognized above chance level from low intensities, although recognition thresholds varied for different expressions: 20% of intensity, for happiness; 40%, for sadness, surprise, anger, and disgust; and 50%, for fear. The advantage of happy faces may be due to their greater physical change in facial features (as shown by automated facial expression measurement), also at low levels of intensity, relative to neutral faces. Recognition thresholds and the pattern of confusions across expressions were, nevertheless, equivalent for dynamic and static expressions, although dynamic expressions were recognized more accurately and faster.

Discrimination between smiling faces: Human observers vs. automated face analysis
Del Líbano, Mario; Calvo, Manuel G; Fernández-Martín, Andrés ; Recio, Guillermo (Acta Psychologica, 06/2018)This study investigated (a) how prototypical happy faces (with happy eyes and a smile) can be discriminated from blended expressions with a smile but non-happy eyes, depending on type and intensity of the eye expression; ... -
Human Observers and Automated Assessment of Dynamic Emotional Facial Expressions: KDEF-dyn Database Validation
Calvo, Manuel G; Fernández-Martín, Andrés ; Recio, Guillermo; Lundqvist, Daniel (Frontiers in Psychology, 26/10/2018)Most experimental studies of facial expression processing have used static stimuli (photographs), yet facial expressions in daily life are generally dynamic. In its original photographic format, the Karolinska Directed ... -
The contribution of facial regions to judgements of happiness and trustworthiness from dynamic expressions
Calvo, Manuel G; Álvarez-Plaza, Patricia; Fernández-Martín, Andrés (Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2017)What expressive facial features and processing mechanisms make a person look trustworthy, relative to happy? Participants judged the un/happiness or un/trustworthiness of people with dynamic expressions in which the eyes ...
