Facial expression emotion recognition is an intuitive reflection of a person's mental state, which contains rich emotional information, and is one of the most important forms of interpersonal communication. It can be used in various fields, including psychology. As a celebrity in ancient China, Zeng Guofan's wisdom involves facial emotion recognition techniques. His book Bing Jian summarizes eight methods on how to identify people, especially how to choose the right one, which means "look at the eyes and nose for evil and righteousness, the lips for truth and falsehood; the temperament for success and fame, the spirit for wealth and fortune; the fingers and claws for ideas, the hamstrings for setback; if you want to know his consecution, you can focus on what he has said." It is said that a person's personality, mind, goodness, and badness can be showed by his face. However, due to the complexity and variability of human facial expression emotion features, traditional facial expression emotion recognition technology has the disadvantages of insufficient feature extraction and susceptibility to external environmental influences. Therefore, this article proposes a novel feature fusion dual-channel expression recognition algorithm based on machine learning theory and philosophical thinking. Specifically, the feature extracted using convolutional neural network (CNN) ignores the problem of subtle changes in facial expressions. The first path of the proposed algorithm takes the Gabor feature of the ROI area as input. In order to make full use of the detailed features of the active facial expression emotion area, first segment the active facial expression emotion area from the original face image, and use the Gabor transform to extract the emotion features of the area. Focus on the detailed description of the local area. The second path proposes an efficient channel attention network based on depth separable convolution to improve linear bottleneck structure, reduce network complexity, and prevent overfitting by designing an efficient attention module that combines the depth of the feature map with spatial information. It focuses more on extracting important features, improves emotion recognition accuracy, and outperforms the competition on the FER2013 dataset.

Background And Objective: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), one of the chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), is defined as a cardiac and vascular disorder that includes coronary heart disease, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, cerebrovascular disease (stroke), congenital heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, and elevated blood pressure (hypertension). Having CVD increases the mortality rate. Emotional stress, an indirect indicator associated with CVD, can often manifest through facial expressions.

The relationships between facial expression and color affect human cognition functions such as perception and memory. However, whether these relationships influence selective attention and brain activity contributed to selective attention remains unclear. For example, reddish angry faces increase emotion intensity, but it is unclear whether brain activity and selective attention are similarly enhanced.

Like the lines themselves, concerns about facial wrinkles, particularly glabellar lines - the prominent furrows between the eyebrows - intensify with age. These lines can inadvertently convey negative emotions due to their association with negative facial expressions. We investigated the effects of repeated frowning on the development of temporary glabellar lines through the activation of the corrugator muscle.

Pain assessment in trigeminal neuralgia (TN) mouse models is essential for exploring its pathophysiology and developing effective analgesics. However, pain assessment methods for TN mouse models have not been widely studied, resulting in a critical gap in our understanding of TN. With the rapid advancement of deep learning, numerous pain assessment methods based on deep learning have emerged.
