We can read the emotions depicted in its gestures, yet might utilize different neural processes than those used for reading the emotions in human agents.Probabilistic Cytoarchitectonic MapsHuman Premotor CortexMirror-Neuron SystemFusiform Face AreaBiological MotionAction RepresentationSpeech-PerceptionRecognitionMotorImitationBrain Response to a Humanoid Robot in Areas Implicated in the Perception of Human Emotional Gesturestext::journal::journal article::research article
