Automatic Analysis of Facial Affect: A Survey of Registration, Representation, and Recognition (2015, background): “The appropriate cues to interpret facial expressions and how to encode them remain open questions [1].”
Measures of emotion: A review (2009, positive): “Although research on bodily expressions of emotion is relatively sparse (Adolphs, 2002; Van den Stock, Righart, & de Gelder, 2007), the research that does exist points to the idea that at least certain emotional states may have distinct bodily behaviour signatures. In particular, pride and embarrass”
Neuroscientific Evidence for Simulation and Shared Substrates in Emotion Recognition: Beyond Faces (2009, background): “Emotion recognition via simulation might take at least two different forms, which are not mutually incompatible: emotional contagion, in which perceiving another’s emotional expression gives rise somehow directly to an emotional experience in the perceiver (Preston & de Waal, 2002); and simulating t”
Biased recognition of happy facial expressions in social anxiety. (2006, neutral): “The face appeared in the center of the screen for 200 ms, which is sufficient for a detailed structural representation of the face to be formed (Adolphs, 2002).”

Common and distinct neural responses during direct and incidental processing of multiple facial emotions (2003, background): “A mechanism for recognition of a conspecific’s emotional states has been proposed to involve a form of simulation within one’s own cortical circuitry (Adolphs et al., 2000; Adolphs, 2002a, 2002b).”
Sex differences in direct aggression: What are the psychological mediators? (2006, background): “The amygdala and the orbitofrontal cortex are involved in the recognition of facial emotion, especially fear and anger (Adolphs, 2002; Zald, 2003).”
A meta-analytic review of emotion recognition and aging: implications for neuropsychological models of aging. (2008, background): “In general, auditory emotions activate numerous brain regions, but again place a substantial load on frontal networks (Adolphs, 2002a; Breitenstein et al., 1998; Buchanan et al., 2000; Imaizumi et al., 1997; Mitchell et al., 2003; Morris et al., 1999; Pourtois et al., 2005; Schirmer and Kotz, 2006;…”
Simulationist models of face-based emotion recognition. (2005, methodology): “In recent years a number of researchers have moved away from pure forms of TT or ST in the direction of some sort of TT/ST hybrid (Adolphs, 2002; Goldman, in preparation; Nichols & Stich, 2003; Perner, 1996), though the exact nature of the hybrid is rather fluid.”

EEG-based classification of positive and negative affective states (2014, methodology): “[5-9] These existing methods, however, are all limited by the main challenge in emotion recognition: observation of external indicators of emotion fail to account for the subconscious component of emotion, thoughts, veiled”
Differential selectivity for dynamic versus static information in face-selective cortical regions (2011, positive): “…examined the response profile of face-selective regions in the posterior continuation of the STS (pcSTS), the anterior STS (aSTS) (Pinsk et al., 2009; Said et al., 2010), inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) (Ishai et al., 2002; Fox et al., 2009), and motor cortex (Adolphs, 2002; Keysers et al., 2010).”
A time of change: behavioral and neural correlates of adolescent sensitivity to appetitive and aversive environmental cues. (2010, background): “In affective neuroscience, researchers have used neuroimaging techniques to identify a network of brain regions that appear to be particularly responsive to appetitive and aversive stimuli, including the amygdala, ventral striatum, midbrain nuclei, and medial and lateral prefrontal cortices (Adolphs”
