简要总结
The main aim of the present study is to investigate whether mimicking emotional expressions training via FaceReader software can improve emotional processing and recognition in healthy subjects, especially individuals with hityer autistic traits.
详细描述
Some mood and trait questionnaires such as Autism Spectrum Quotient, Social Responsiveness Scale,State-Trait Anxiety Inventory,Beck's Depression Inventory etc are asked to complete. 90 healthy male subjects will receive 16 times (4 times a week , 4 weeks) of mimicking emotional expressions training via Facereader. During training, 3 times of fNIRS (t2,t9 and t16) were recorded simultaneously. fMRI scanning, including emotion processing and emotion recognition tasks, 7 minutes resting data, ans DTI data will be collected before and after the training. After fMRI scaning, behavioral ratings (i.e. intensity and valence) and eye-tracking data will be collected.

结局指标
主要结局
Intensity score of subjects' mimic facial emotions
时间窗: an average of 4 weeks
The measurement was monitored and analyzed by FaceReader software before and after the 4-week training session and subjects' facial expressions of mimicking certain emotions will be calculated into intensity, ranging from 0 to 1.
Valence score of subjects' mimic facial emotions
时间窗: an average of 4 weeks
The measurement was monitored and analyzed by FaceReader software before and after the 4-week training session and subjects' facial expressions of mimicking certain emotions will be calculated into valence, ranging from -1 to 1.
Arousal score of subjects' mimic facial emotions
时间窗: an average of 4 weeks
The measurement was monitored and analyzed by FaceReader software before and after the 4-week training session and subjects' facial expressions of mimicking certain emotions will be calculated into arousal, ranging from 0 to 1.
Task-dependent functional MRI data
时间窗: an average of 4 weeks
Neural activities of brain regions, notably mirror neuron system will be collected for analysis when the subjects participate in a face processing and emotion recognition task in a MRI scanner before and after the 4-week training session.
