Alexei V. Samsonovich, Alexandr Sidorov, Alexander N. Inozemtsev

Abstract: Human face is used to express affects and feelings, either involuntary or deliberately. How many dimensions of emotional flavors can be robustly distinguished in facial expressions, across individuals and cultures? Here we offer an answer and develop a practical approach to generate synthetic emotional facial expressions. Results can be used in studies of synthetic emotions.
