A stimulus set of dynamic facial expressions

We present a stimulus set of videos of 10 actors expressing neutral, happy, and angry emotions. 5 of the actors also express sadness and fear. Stimuli are available as .ogv files. We have previously demonstrated that these stimuli can be used to elicit emotional mimicry, as measured with electromyography (EMG). These stimuli may be useful in studies of e.g. facial mimicry, recognition of facial expressions, emotional contagion, and responses to expressions of positive and negative emotions.
