[Invited Talk] The "True Emotion" Decoded through Multisensory Expressions -- Cultural Differences in the Multisensory Perception of Emotion --

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Cultural differences in emotion perception have mainly been reported for facial expressions and to a lesser extent for vocal expressions. But the way in which the perceiver combines auditory and visual cues may itself be subject to cultural variability. Our study investigated cultural differences in the multisensory perception of emotion between Japanese and Dutch. A pair of dynamic face and voice, which expresses either congruent or incongruent emotions, was presented in the experiment. Participants were instructed to judge the emotion expressed in one of the two sources. The effect of to-be-ignored voice on the facial judgment was larger in Japanese than Dutch participants whereas the effect of to-be-ignored face on the vocal judgment was smaller. The result indicates that Japanese are more tuned to vocal processing in the multisensory perception of emotion. Our findings provided the first evidence that culture modulates the manner of the multisensory integration of affective information.
