摘要:

眼部是面孔加工过程中重要的特征区域, 传达了个体即刻的情绪状态信息和注视朝向信息。从正常和异常人群面孔表情识别时的注视模式来看, 眼部区域在面孔表情加工中具有独特的优势。其中眉毛、瞳孔、眼白等细小的眼部线索在面孔表情的加工中都发挥了作用, 并且会引起杏仁核、颞上沟、梭状回、扣带回、前额叶等脑区的激活。未来的研究应深入探讨单独的眼部特征在面孔表情加工中的作用机制及其重要性, 并结合后天复杂的环境因素来揭示人际交往中眼神交流的一般规律。另外, 还需要挖掘异常人群加工眼部线索的脑机制, 采取适当的认知训练策略来提高其面孔表情加工的能力。

Abstract:

Eye region plays a crucial part in the processing of facial expression recognition by conveying the emotional state and orientation information of the individual. Different gaze patterns between normal and abnormal individuals could testify to the unique advantage that eye region has in facial expression processing. In specific, subtle changes in the eye area, such as the eyebrows, pupil and sclera, have an impact on the recognition of expressions and would activate the brain areas such as amygdala, superior temporal sulcus, fusiform gyrus, cingulate gyrus and prefrontal cortex. Future studies should further explore the role of pure eye characteristics in facial expression processing and its significance. Also, more research needs to be done to reveal how such feature and social environment influence the general pattern of eye contact in social communication. In addition, the neural mechanisms behind abnormal people’s facial feature processing need to be studied and measures need to be developed to help improving their face processing ability.
