{ "pk": 26296, "title": "Measuring the Causal Dynamics of Facial Interactionwith Convergent Cross Mapping", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "The nature of the dynamics of nonverbal interactions is of con-siderable interest to the study of human communication andfuture human-computer interaction. Facial expressions consti-tute an important source of nonverbal social signals. Whereasmost studies have focused on the facial expressions of iso-lated individuals, the aim of this study is to explore the cou-pling dynamics of facial expressions in social dyadic interac-tions. Using a special experimental set-up, the frontal facialdynamics of pairs of socially interacting persons were mea-sured and analyzed simultaneously. We introduce the use ofconvergent cross mapping, a method originating from dynam-ical systems theory, to assess the causal coupling of the dyadicfacial-expression dynamics. The results reveal the presence ofbidirectional causal couplings of the facial dynamics. We con-clude that convergent cross mapping yields encouraging resultsin establishing evidence for causal behavioral interactions.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "mimicry; convergent cross mapping; facial ex-pressions" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/08p997t9", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Eric", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Postma", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Tilburg University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Marie", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Postma-Nilsenova", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Tilburg University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2016-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26296/galley/15932/download/" } ] }
