Project Description. At Glasgow’s Experimental MRI Centre we are interested in pushing the boundaries of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and its application to biomedical research.
The brain is never at rest. the activity state of the brain constantly changes over multiple timescales. Over the last decades, the role of ongoing brain activity in various brain functions has been intensively explored with a variety of experimental and theoretical/computational approaches.
Aims. This ambitious project aims to mathematically model the human face as an algebraic generator of dynamic social signals and build a psychologically and culturally valid generative model of social face signalling that is transferrable to social robots.
