21.12.2009 A facial expression is worth a thousand words

Interpreting this facial expression correctly (as a „thoughtful“ expression) is very difficult based on this photo alone. When showing the corresponding video sequence, however, recognition becomes easy, which underlines the importance of the temporal dimension for effective communication. How a human recognizes a face (clip).

Moving pictures are more suitable to interpret the mood of a person than a static photograph.» read more
