Altering sensorimotor simulation impacts early stages of facial expression processing depending on individual differences in alexithymic traits
Arianna Schiano Lomoriello, Antonio Maffei, Sabrina Brigadoi +1
Simulation models of facial expressions suggest that posterior visual areas and brain areas underpinning sensorimotor simulations might interact to improve facial expression proces…

Neural measures of the causal role of observers' facial mimicry on visual working memory for facial expressions
Paola Sessa, Arianna Schiano Lomoriello, Roy Luria
Simulation models of facial expressions propose that sensorimotor regions may increase the clarity of facial expressions representations in extrastriate areas. We monitored the eve…

Out of sight out of mind: Perceived physical distance between the observer and someone in pain shapes observer's neural empathic reactions
Arianna Schiano Lomoriello, Federica Meconi, Irene Rinaldi +1
Social and affective relations may shape empathy to others' affective states. Previous studies also revealed that people tend to form very different mental representations of stimu…
