Essays on Facial

Arguably, from the research findings, it is evident that the FACS approach is amenable to alteration for use with all other species of primates; this method allows one to compare and contrast the facial repertoires among many species with distinct characteristics. Developing FACS for chimpanzees has made it easy for us to understand how and why the human facial movements vary from that of the chimpanzees. The apparent difference can be deduced from the varying facial morphology, underlying musculature, and the interface between the two. From the general repertoire, nine commonly seen facial actions have successfully been described and ...

According to a report by published in the Polygenetic online journal on September 13, 2012, five genetic loci are responsible for the determination of facial morphology in humans. Since variations in facial features are the most prominent phenotypic variation in humans that are under genetic control, Liu F, van der Lijn F, Schurmann C, Zhu G, Chakra arty MM, et al carried out a genome association study for varied facial phenotypes in a population of ten thousand individual of European ancestry (2012). The classification of the facial phenotypes was done using data obtained using three dimensional magnetic resonance (MRI) imaging and ...

everal factors affect judgments that are related to the development of self-image. Such perceptions may include the Dentofacial attractiveness (Alvanos, 14). These factors may include social, physical and sometimes, psychological factors. In the current world, an individual’s social interaction is based on their physical attraction. As such, the physical attraction of an individual plays a great role in ensuring one comfortable life and associates well with their peers. The three dimensional facial characteristics in females greatly differ, depending on one’s aesthetics. As such, this calls for clinical evaluation of the facial and dental aesthetics (Becker et al., 21). ...

Introduction

The research that was conducted was aimed at checking the effect of defendant facial expression on mock juror decision-making especially the power of remorse.

Abstract:

Face recognition is as old as human history itself. We are have always relied on our brain to help us identify faces we are familiar with. This functioning of the human mind has been used by researchers in developing technologies which is contributing to use the facial recognition system as a security measure. What started with biometric applications like iris scan and finger print scan is now being transformed into the facial recognition system. Today recognition of facial features is being adopted across industries and installations. A question that flows is which of the sexes recognize faces better. Is it ...

Face Recognition System

Categorization and Features Face recognition system is a biometric system-any automatically measurable, robust and distinctive traits that can be used to identify an individual- that operates in two modes; face verification or authentication, and face identification or recognition (Li & Jain, 2011). Face verification postulates a one to one match that likens a face image in question against an enrollment face image whose identity is being claimed (Li & Jain, 2011). A distinctive application of this mode is person verification for self served immigration clearance using E-passport (Li & Jain, 2011). On the other hand, face identification encompasses one-to-many matching that compares a face in ...

The objective of this paper is to present a unique study that aims to verify whether own race bias still carries the same effect when it comes to memory, recall, and recognition (of faces) when it gets paired with another independent variable which is school affiliation. Using empirical evidences obtained from the current research’s implementation, the researchers were able to verify that the respondents’ ability to memorize, recall, and recognize ...

According to beauty oriented studies, averageness refers to the average phenotypic characteristics evident in a person. This is the facial outward appearance and one’s general appearance. They communicate about one’s fertility and health. A bigger proportion of the studies were based on photographic overlays in which the images are morphed together. Factors like youthfulness, similarity and symmetry are also considered when attractiveness is concerned. There is a possibility of beauty not being in the eyes of the beholder. Beauty can be less arbitrarily considered as a cultural whims’ slave. Views on attractiveness do not vary across many races hence ...

Cranial nerves refer to the nerves that emerge from the brain directly. This is in contrast to the spinal nerves that come from spinal cord segments. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves in human and only the both the first and the second cranial nerve pairs originate from cerebrum. All the other pairs originate from the brainstem. Other than the cranial nerve II, all the other cranial pairs belong to the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The cranial nerve ganglia come from the central nervous system (CNS) (Patestas and Gartner).

The seventh pair of cranial nerves is the ...

A person’s lip shape holds much more importance than being a mere facial feature. Older studies of Petajan et al. and more recent works of Daubias , Goecke , and Nakata & Ando , have shown that the movement of the mouth plays a crucial role in speech detection. The Audio Visual Speech Recognition or AVSR and Mobile Phone Visual System for the hearing impaired or MPVS multimedia systems also rely on visual lip reading to function effectively . Further, lip shape and prints can be used as evidence for identifying persons for criminal and forensic purposes. Lip prints of a person remain the same throughout ...

Social decisions determine our ability to succeed in the society. They determine the manner in which people make interpersonal choices like the leaders they choose. As such, the inferences drawn regarding others depend on a perceiving their motivation, tendencies, and qualification on a judgmental basis. However, the judgments base on superficial attributes and weak methodologies of diagnosing other people, an unfortunate incident because they form important parts of our decisions. In wide domains like politics, people’s facial appearances relate directly to their level of success. Real outcomes in the world based on facial appearances have various categories. Most people ...

Nonverbal communication forms an integral part of the way we communicate everyday. Nonverbal communication is of four types. They are kinesics, paralanguage, proxemics, and chronemics. Nonverbal communication including our gestures, facial expressions, and the eye contact we make with the person we are communicating with conveys important messages. Leaders can derive a number of important meanings from organizational members engaging in nonverbal signals.

All communication devices are divided into two large groups: verbal and nonverbal. It may seem that nonverbal means are not as important as verbal. In fact, it is not true. Although verbal communication is of central importance for the majority, it is incomplete without nonverbal devices. Even after developing language, people consciously or unconsciously use body movements. Eye contact, facial expressions, head movements, positioning of feet and legs, torso shifts, postures, tone of voice and even space between people during conversation are elements of body language. Professionals in the field of communication studies define these body movements as the ...

Everyone feels emotions. We employ a lot of time interpreting emotions, defining how to react to them, observing others emotional responses and dealing with our emotions. Emotion presents itself in both nonverbal and verbal communication. Different cultures and countries express emotions differently. The varying differences in the expression of emotion means that people from different cultures will also interpret expression of emotion differently. Studies have shown that there are similarities in the way cultures express emotions despite the differences. The following essay focuses on expression of emotion in United States of America and Japanese and the differences in emotional expression.

Psychology

In their research “The emotional roots of conspiratorial perceptions, system justification, and belief in the paranormal”, Whitson, Galinsky and Kay (2014) addressed human emotions that are linked with the uncertainty of the world. They suggest a hypothesis that these emotions (such as fear, surprise, hope, etc.) should promote the need to endow the world with structure and order using a variety of compensatory measures. The reason to conduct the experiments described in the article was a desire to prove that the certainty of the emotions plays a greater role than its valence in the process of activating compensatory control. Moreover, the experiments ...

Communication is the passage of information from a sender to a receiver in a manner that is coherent to both. For communication to be complete, the receiver must give a feedback showing acknowledgement and understanding of the information communicated. In human communications, language is an important aspect of passing information from one person to the other. This leads to development of the language game concept. Various theories have tried to explain the language game. Language game is drawn from a philosophical view that the language use can be through the way it is simply used to portray an action which is cemented into ...
