The Influence of Primary Facial Emotion Perception on Corticospinal Excitability

Abstract

Chiara Fiori

This study investigates how the perception of primary facial emotions affects corticospinal excitability. Corticospinal excitability is measured using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) while participants view facial expressions displaying various primary emotions. The results reveal significant modulation of corticospinal excitability in response to specific facial emotions, shedding light on the intricate interplay between emotion perception and motor system activity.
