Reading Emotions Symposium
26-27th June 2025
University of Reading
This symposium brings together facial expression researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds and experience to promote extensive knowledge exchange, networking opportunities, and the potential for developing new collaborations. Specifically, over two days, we will 1) cover the latest research on facial expressions of emotion from a diverse set of perspectives that include clinical applications, AI, and human animal interactions, and 2) introduce novel methodological approaches used in experimental research, such as facial muscle stimulation.
Keynote lectures will examine central themes and latest developments in theory, methods, and application.
Early career researchers and local experts will present ongoing work and key relevant methods in short talks
The schedule will facilitate the informal exchange of ideas, with opportunities for feedback and collaboration
