Subthreshold depression is associated with altered facial expression and impression formation via subjective ratings and action unit analysis by Eriko Sugimori, Mayu Yamaguchi

“…Automated analysis with OpenFace 2.0 showed higher presence/intensity of AU01 (Inner Brow Raiser), AU05 (Upper Lid Raiser), AU20 (Lip Stretcher), AU25/26/28 (mouth‑opening AUs) in StD faces; five of these AUs correlated with BDI‑II after false‑discovery‑rate correction (q < 0.05). Subthreshold depression was associated with muted positive expressivity and distinct eye‑ and mouth‑movement patterns, but did not bias observers’ first‑impression judgements. …”
