The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to the following talk:
What’s in a face? Facial expressions and decision-making.
We spend our lives interacting with other people, and in these interactions faces provide a wealth of both fixed (e.g., social group and age), and flexible information (e.g., facial expressions that indicate
emotions and likely actions). The quality of an interaction, and its outcome, depends on how the people interacting interpret each other’s faces and expressions. In this talk I will present some of my resent work examining how facial expressions are evaluated,
what can change how people interpret other people’s facial expressions, and consequently the decisions people make.
Date and time: Wednesday, 8th April 2026, 16:00
Host: Thomas Ganzetti
