Sensory encoding of emotion conveyed by the face and visual context
Katherine M. Soderberg, Grace Jang, Philip A. Kragel
The paper uses artificial neural networks to model fMRI data and shows that the pSTS encodes facial expressions more robustly than the amygdala, while both regions encode visual context.
