COMMUNICATION: Emotion in the Human Face: Guidelines for Research and an Integration of Findings.

Abstract: This book covers the literature on the human facial expression of emotion and describes the authors' own research in the field. With the inevitable banality of the conclusions of such work, for example that it is possible to obtain information about certain emotions by looking at people's faces, it might seem that the book would be pedantic and highly specialized. In fact, the authors guide the reader enthusiastically through the methodological difficulties and pitfalls of such work, and critically, but not destructively, evaluate the conflicting results of earlier studies. The result is a stimulating book, with much to teach to anyone who wishes to attempt to measure human emotions in a clinical or research setting. The book isillustrated by two platesof photographs. It would have been of interest to have seen more of the original pictures used in the various studies.

Growth Path for Computers in Automated Analysis

Abstract: We are always interested in finding ways to increase our effectiveness as scientists. One way to do this is to see if there are better tools to help us in the jobs we face, or more effective ways of using the tools that we have. Attaching a computer to an instrument makes a powerful new instrument; any instrument, and almost any computer. A computer in itself is not an instrument, but when attached to any instrument it is. Thus, this is a possible technique for increasing our effectiveness which may apply to many disciplines. Rather than describe a specific instance, although I will give examples, I will try instead to give an overview of this type of growing activity, and try to state where I think it is heading. In this sense, this is somewhat of a selected version of what is going on in “Lab Automation”.
