Effects of sexual dimorphism on facial attractiveness
David I. Perrett,Kieran J Lee,Kieran J Lee,Ian S. Penton-Voak,Duncan Rowland,Sakiko Yoshikawa,D. M. Burt,S. P. Henzi,D. L. Castles,Shigeru Akamatsu +9 more
TL;DR: The results of asking subjects to choose the most attractive faces from continua that enhanced or diminished differences between the average shape of female and male faces indicate a selection pressure that limits sexual dimorphism and encourages neoteny in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced neural activity in response to dynamic facial expressions of emotion: an fMRI study
TL;DR: The broad region of the occipital and temporal cortices, especially in the right hemisphere, showed higher activation during viewing of the dynamic facial expressions than it did during the viewing of either control stimulus, common to both expressions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-cultural reading the mind in the eyes: An fmri investigation
Reginald B. Adams,Nicholas O. Rule,Robert G. Franklin,Elsie Wang,Michael T. Stevenson,Sakiko Yoshikawa,Mitsue Nomura,Wataru Sato,Kestutis Kveraga,Nalini Ambady +9 more
TL;DR: This work provides the first behavioral and neural evidence for an intracultural advantage (better performance for same- vs. other-culture) in mental state decoding in a sample of native Japanese and white American participants and examines the neural correlates of this intrusion using fMRI.
Research report Enhanced neural activity in response to dynamic facial expressions of emotion: an fMRI study
TL;DR: For instance, this paper found that the left amygdala was highly activated in response to dynamic facial expressions relative to both control stimuli, but not in the case of happy expressions, while the right ventral premotor cortex was also activated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attractiveness of Facial Averageness and Symmetry in Non-Western Cultures: In Search of Biologically Based Standards of Beauty
TL;DR: These findings show that preferences for facial averageness and symmetry are not restricted to Western cultures, consistent with the view that they are biologically based.
