The functional architecture of human empathy. (2004, background): “By virtue of its aversiveness, pain serves to promote the organism’s health and integrity (Williams, 2002).”
The Rat Grimace Scale: A partially automated method for quantifying pain in the laboratory rat via facial expressions (2011, background): “The evolutionary stability of facial expression [7,8] would clearly predict that the MGS could be translated to the rat.”
Defining and assessing animal pain (2014, neutral): “…that such complex responses that are observed alongside other potential indices of pain demonstrate higher processing (i.e. experience), we currently have limited objective evidence that the behaviour reflects an integrated response to external stimuli and relates directly to an affective state.”
Transcranial magnetic stimulation highlights the sensorimotor side of empathy for pain (2005, background): “, the ability to understand and to experience indirectly the pain of others is fundamental to social tie”
IExpressNet: Facial Expression Recognition with Incremental Classes (2020, background): “However, facial expression recognition (FER) provides more insights for humans’ behaviors, which is essential to various human-computer interaction applications like sociable robotics [7], medical care [69], and driver fatigue surveillance [76].”
Fully Automatic Recognition of the Temporal Phases of Facial Actions (2012, methodology): “temporal dynamics are essential for the categorization of complex psychological states like various types of pain and mood [24].”
Social signal processing: Survey of an emerging domain (2009, background): “As AUs are independent of interpretation, they can be used for any higher order decision making process including recognition of basic emotions (EMFACS; see [48]), cognitive states like interest and puzzlement [32], psychological states like suicidal depression [50] or pain [212], social behaviours ”
Physicians down-regulate their pain empathy response: An event-related brain potential study (2010, background): “Pain itself signals a potential threat in the environment and urges individuals to escape or avoid its source (Williams, 2002).”
Updating the definition of pain. (2016, background): “Facial and other behavioral expression of pain are also multidimensional—for example, facial expression can disclose various emotional and motivational states, as well as cognitive features, such as intentions, efforts at problem solving, and social reactions.(41)”
Human computing and machine understanding of human behavior: a survey (2006, background): “For instance, it has been shown that facial expression temporal dynamics are essential for categorization of complex psychological states like various types of pain and mood [88] and for interpretation of social behaviors like social inhibition, embarrassment, amusement, and shame [16].”
Automatic Analysis of Facial Actions: A Survey (2019, background): “Dynamics are essential for the categorisation of complex psychological states like various types of pain and mood [55], [200].”
