Being able to recognize emotional activity within others is one of the most important aspects of social interaction, and difficulties with such tasks can have a negative impact on the lives of many people, spawning interest in creating ways to help trigger recognition. Recently, a team from the York Neuroimaging Centre at the University of York used the MagnetoEncephaloGraphic, or MEG, equipment retained by the school to study electrical activity in the brains of participants. Results showed that participants were most engaged when exposed to both audio and imagery of emotions as opposed to either stimulus alone. With greater investigation, this information may help create better programs for those who have difficulty perceiving or identifying emotions in others.
