In research on facial expression, communication between individuals showed concurrent movement mirroring of speakers. Although the patient with brain injury impaired facial mimicking of happiness. Some studies suggest that contracting facial muscles involved in facial expressions. In this study, we investigated whether facial mimicry occurs by contracting facial muscles.Both of participants who are impaired brain injury and unimpaired showed more frequently in response to facial mimicking of happiness by contracting facial muscles. These results suggest that increase empathic facial expression by simple method.
