happiness sadness anxiety Can you guess how people are feeling from their body language? B_ Now read the text to find out how neuroscientists are studying the way fear spreads. Ithas long been known that fear spreads quickly from person to person. However, until recently, neuroscientists believed that this fear was communicated mainly through facial expressions. Now a new study has shown that body language may be just as important as facial expressions for communicating fear. It shows that fearful body postures are processed in the emotional part of the brain {and lead to an automatic response. Body postures that do not communicate fear are processed cifferentiy, in the visual part of the brain. Since the link between the Word Focus # neuroscientist: scientist who stuies the brain ond nervous system study: particular piece of research automatic: done without thinking, instinctively neutral: neither postive nor negative rotor elating to muscles, nerves ’and parts of the brain that contol movement mechanism: part of your e behaviour which helps you deal with diffcule situation emotional part of the brain and action is stronger then the link between the visual part ofthe brain and action, viewing fearful body expressions may create an automatic response to fear. "When we talk about how humans communicate, we always talk about things like language,’ said Beatrice de Gelder, the neuroscientist who led the study. ‘But just ke in the animal world, we also communicate through our bodies. without our conscious minds being much aware of it. Unlike earlier studies, which concentrated on the way the brain reacted to still mages of facial expressions, the experiment which de Gelder and her team carried out aimed to prove that fearful body posture can create fear in ‘observers. Since previous studies hed used still images, the scientists decided to use stills from video clips. Participants had their brains scanned while they were shawn video stills of actors who were showing fear. For example, in one. situation, they had just opened a door to find an armed robber waiting for them. They were also shown in neutral situations; pouring a glass of water or combing their hair. In each case, though, the actors’ faces were blocked out so that the participants viewing them could only react to their body posture and not to any facial expressions. ‘The results showed that when participants saw fearful images, the emotional part of the brain was active as well as regions of the brain connected to motor processes that are responsible for movement. There was a lot more going 6n in the brain than when the neutral images were shown, ‘These only activated the visual areas of the brain ‘The response to fear appears to be quite automatic, and, this is commonly seen in the animal kingdom. If a flack of birds has been feeding on the ground and one is frightened by something and takes off, the others immediately follow. Itis an extremely important evolutionary mechanism because any bird eft behind may become prey. Something similar happens with humans. At a fearful moment, humans like animals need to be ready to react quickly because they~ C Read the Exam Close-up.

Ifa fire breaks out, for instance, people quickly adopt the body posture of those close to them. However, our reaction to danger is sometimes slowed down as we try to rationalise fear by asking ourselves whether there is a reason to react. 0 fer, neuroscientists have focussed on showing people stills {rom videos, but they are now interested in finding out what happens in the brain when humans watch moving images Teams of neuroscientists around the world, including de Gelders, are carrying out studies in which the participants brains are scanned while they ere watching films. This enables scientists to study how emotional actions are based on movement. Inthe future, such research may be used in the building of robotic human companions that would be able to perceive decide, communicate and react as humans do. vy \ Do you lke watching scary films with other people?
