In this paper muscle and gyroscope signals provided by a low cost EEG headset were used to classify six different facial expressions. Muscle activities generated by facial expressions are seen in EEG data recorded from scalp. Using the already present EEG device to classify facial expressions allows for a new hybrid brain-computer interface (BCI) system without introducing new hardware such as separate electromyography (EMG) electrodes. To classify facial expressions, time domain and frequency domain EEG data with different sampling rates were used as inputs of the classifiers. The experimental results showed that with sampling rates and classification methods optimized for each participant and feature set, high accuracy classification of facial expressions was achieved. Moreover, adding information extracted from a gyroscope embedded into the used EEG headset increased the performance by an average of 9 to 16%.

Emotional mimicry-the imitation of others' emotions-is an empathic response that helps to navigate social interactions. Mimicry is absent when participants' task does not involve engaging with the expressers' emotions. This may be because task-irrelevant faces (i.

Intellectual Developmental Disorder with Dysmorphic Facies and Ptosis (IDDDFP) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome caused by pathogenic variants in the BRPF1 gene, which is critical for chromatin regulation. This study expands the clinical and molecular spectrum of IDDDFP by analysing 29 new patients from 20 families with confirmed BRPF1 variants. Our cohort presented with a wide range of clinical features including developmental delay, intellectual disability (ID) and characteristic dysmorphic facial features such as ptosis, blepharophimosis and a broad nasal bridge.

Allergic rhinitis (AR), common in children and adolescents, involves Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1) catalyzing surfactant lipid biosynthesis and suppressing endoplasmic reticulum expression. However, the precise mechanism underlying the impact of LPCAT1 on epithelial cell damage in AR remains elusive. Hence, the present investigation elucidated the potential effect of LPCAT1 on epithelial cell damage in AR by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress.

We examined categorical processing biases in the perception and recognition of facial expressions of emotion across two studies. In both studies, participants first learned to discriminate between two ambiguous facial expressions of emotion selected from the middle of a continuous array of blended expressions (i.e.

The MYST family histone acetyltransferase gene, KAT6B (MYST4, MORF, QKF) is mutated in two distinct human congenital disorders characterised by intellectual disability, facial dysmorphogenesis and skeletal abnormalities; Say-Barber-Biesecker-Young-Simpson variant of Ohdo syndrome and Genitopatellar syndrome. Despite its requirement in normal skeletal development, the cellular and transcriptional effects of KAT6B in skeletogenesis have not been thoroughly studied. Here, we show that germline deletion of the Kat6b gene in mice causes premature ossification in vivo, resulting in shortened craniofacial elements and increased bone density, as well as shortened tibias with an expanded pre-hypertrophic layer, as compared to wild type controls.
