Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to reveal facial color effect on a perception of facial expressions and its neural mechanism. In the psychophysical experiment, we compered the face and background (BG) color effects on the facial expression identification. Our results showed that expression identification was influenced by both face and BG colors. Facial color effects were significantly greater than those in the BG condition. These results suggested that facial color is intimately related to the perception of facial expression in excess of simple color. In the fMRI study, we investigated the neural basis of facial effect.
This study marks an essential first step toward to reveal the mechanisms of facial effect on a perception of facial expressions.
