Current Research Projects

Nonverbal synchrony 

With automated-coding techniques, the convergence of timing and rhythm in the interactant's nonverbal behavior is captured.

Motion Unit 

Joint project with Tohoku University, Japan. Motion Capture data will reveal which component of bodily motion is necessary to express emotions.

Facial expressions

Computers can "see" human facial expressions even in milliseconds, which can be an insight into our emotions and personality.
