Infant monkeys were placed in a room with monochromatic lighting limiting their access to a normal spectrum of colors for a one-month period. After a one-year period, the monkey's ability ...

A facial expression database is a collection of images or video clips with facial expressions of a range of emotions.

Conversely, involuntary facial expressions are believed to be innate and follow a subcortical route in the brain. Facial recognition can be an emotional experience for the brain and the amygdala is highly involved in the recognition process.
