The present study aimed to investigate the identification of threat-related facial expressions in aggressive individuals with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Thirty-two male delinquents and matched healthy controls were presented with a series of animated morph-clips that gradually display the onset and development of angry, fearful, and happy facial expressions. ASPD subjects required significantly higher levels of emotional intensity to correctly identify the onset of an angry facial expression as compared to control participants. In contrast, recognition of fearful and happy expressions was unimpaired. These findings suggest a specific deficit in the identification of hostile facial expressions in ASPD populations.

We explore the efficacy of multimodal behavioral cues for explainable prediction of personality and interview-specific traits. We utilize elementary head-motion units named kinemes, atomic facial movements termed action units and speech features to estimate these human-centered traits. Empirical results confirm that kinemes and action units enable discovery of multiple trait-specific behaviors while also enabling explainability in support of the predictions.

Neural mechanisms underlying the interactive exchange of facial emotional expressions.

Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci

January 2025

Department of Psychology, Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, Regensburg University.

Facial emotional expressions are crucial in face-to-face social interactions, and recent findings have highlighted their interactive nature. However, the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. This EEG study investigated whether the interactive exchange of facial expressions modulates socio-emotional processing.

Facial expression recognition faces great challenges due to factors such as face similarity, image quality, and age variation. Although various existing end-to-end Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures have achieved good classification results in facial expression recognition tasks, these network architectures share a common drawback that the convolutional kernel can only compute the correlation between elements of a localized region when extracting expression features from an image. This leads to difficulties for the network to explore the relationship between all the elements that make up a complete expression.

Clinical and imaging spectrum of non-congenital dominant ACTN2 myopathy.

J Neurol

January 2025

Department of Neurology and Neurosciences, Donostia University Hospital, Biogipuzkoa Health Research Institute, Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain.

Background: Alpha-actinin-2, a protein with high expression in cardiac and skeletal muscle, is located in the Z-disc and plays a key role in sarcomere stability. Mutations in ACTN2 have been associated with both hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy and, more recently, with skeletal myopathy.

Methods: Genetic, clinical, and muscle imaging data were collected from 37 patients with an autosomal dominant ACTN2 myopathy belonging to 11 families from Spain and Belgium.
