Micro-expressions are fleeting and subtle emotional expressions. As they are spontaneous and uncontrollable by one's mind, micro-expressions are considered an indicator of genuine emotions. Their accurate recognition and interpretation promote interpersonal interaction and social communication. Therefore, enhancing the ability to recognize micro-expressions has captured much attention. In the current study, we investigated the effects of training on micro-expression recognition with a Chinese version of the Micro-Expression Training Tool (METT). Our goal was to confirm whether the recognition accuracy of spontaneous micro-expressions could be improved through training and brain stimulation. Since the right temporal parietal junction (rTPJ) has been shown to be involved in the explicit process of facial emotion recognition, we hypothesized that the rTPJ would play a role in facilitating the recognition of micro-expressions. The results showed that anodal transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) of the rTPJ indeed improved the recognition of spontaneous micro-expressions, especially for those associated with fear. The improved accuracy of recognizing fear spontaneous micro-expressions was positively correlated with personal distress in the anodal group but not in the sham group. Our study supports that the combined use of tDCS and METT can be a viable way to train and enhance micro-expression recognition.

In terms of facial expressions, micro-expressions are more realistic than macro-expressions and provide more valuable information, which can be widely used in psychological counseling and clinical diagnosis. In the past few years, deep learning methods based on optical flow and Transformer have achieved excellent results in this field, but most of the current algorithms are mainly concentrated on establishing a serialized token through the self-attention model, and they do not take into account the spatial relationship between facial landmarks. For the locality and changes in the micro-facial conditions themselves, we propose the deep learning model MCCA-VNET on the basis of Transformer.

Micro-expression is extensively studied due to their ability to fully reflect individuals' genuine emotions. However, accurate micro-expression recognition is a challenging task due to the subtle motion of facial muscle. Therefore, this paper introduces a Graph Attention Mechanism-based Motion Magnification Guided Micro-Expression Recognition Network (GAM-MM-MER) to amplify delicate muscle motions and focus on key facial landmarks.

Flexible conductive hydrogels have revolutionized the lives and are widely applied in health monitoring and wearable electronics as a new generation of sensing materials. However, the inherent low mechanical strength, sensitivity, and lack of rapid self-healing capacity results in their short life, poor detection accuracy, and environmental pollution. Inspired by the molecular structure of bone and its chemical characteristics, a novel fully physically cross-linked conductive hydrogel is fabricated by the introduction of nanohydroxyapatite (HAp) as the dynamic junction points.

Depression affects the recognition of emotion in facial expressions by reducing the detection accuracy and adding a bias towards negativity. However, no study has examined associations between depression and the recognition of microfacial expressions (fleeting facial cues of emotions in people's faces). Thus, we investigated associations between low mood and micro-expression processing using video stimuli of micro-expressions.

In demanding application scenarios such as clinical psychotherapy and criminal interrogation, the accurate recognition of micro-expressions is of utmost importance but poses significant challenges. One of the main difficulties lies in effectively capturing weak and fleeting facial features and improving recognition performance. To address this fundamental issue, this paper proposed a novel architecture based on a multi-scale 3D residual convolutional neural network.
