Body language is an equally powerful means of communication, however. Although faces and bodies can express themselves in many similar ways, examining their differences may be the best way to learn how bodies communicate. Exploring the body's role in perceiving and expressing emotion has opened broad new avenues for research in cognitive neuroscience. Emotions and the Body discusses the neural basis and temporal processing signatures of emotional body language by drawing on state-of-the-art research in the neuropsychology of emotional face and body disorders. Beatrice de Gelder explores a range of fascinating questions such as: How do facial and bodily expressions interact? What role does emotional body language play in social interaction? If body language is perceived even with limited attention and reduced visual awareness, as studies with patients have shown, then what is the nature of emotional experience, and how is awareness affected? Are some cultures less expressive in their body language? And are there notable gender and cultural differences in emotional body language, as is the case for facial expressions? Research on emotional body language shows that emotions are tools for adaptive action, and that they allow us to predict interactions with real, imagined, and virtual others. These data prompt de Gelder to consider virtual bodies as well as physical ones, including avatars and robots. The wide-ranging implications of her study will appeal especially to scholars and students of cognitive neuroscience, but also to those working in such related fields as information and communication technology, computer science, animation, and robotics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52516048634129,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52516048863505,"sku":"NLS9780195374346","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780195374346.jpg?v=1786099552"},{"product_id":"knowledge-and-representation-book-beatrice-de-gelder-9781041382041","title":"Knowledge and Representation","description":"\u003cp\u003eMental representations are among the most mysterious entities involved in cognition. How is the brain’s model of the world formed, how is it used, how is it corrected, how essential is it to our knowledge of the world? Psychologists have been trying to comprehend the nature of these internal mechanisms by models of their own, which fall into three main categories: computational, biological, and constructivist. But whether these explanations draw on the experience of computer programming for artificial intelligence, or on an analysis of the interrelations between neurons in the brain, or on some mechanical or abstract analogy, the purpose is always to find the metaphor which is most useful in scientific and predictive terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll these approaches are represented in \u003ci\u003eKnowledge and Representation \u003c\/i\u003e(originally published in 1982), which is designed to convey the full richness and variety of research at the time and theorizing in this area of cognitive psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53480093843729,"sku":"NGR9781041382041","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781041382041.jpg?v=1782846332"},{"product_id":"speech-and-reading-book-beatrice-de-gelder-9781138084513","title":"Speech and Reading","description":"Originally published in 1995, this collection of papers introduced a new dimension to the understanding of reading by focusing on the relation between spoken and written language processing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54068705526033,"sku":"NIN9781138084513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54071007969553,"sku":"NLS9781138084513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138084513.jpg?v=1786098397"},{"product_id":"speech-and-reading-book-beatrice-de-gelder-9781138084407","title":"Speech and Reading","description":"Originally published in 1995, this collection of papers introduced a new dimension to the understanding of reading by focusing on the relation between spoken and written language processing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54116639211793,"sku":"NLS9781138084407","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138084407.jpg?v=1786408474"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-beatrice-de-gelder.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
