The story started from a brief conversation in a train to Hualien, with my supervisor Prof. Sue-Huei Chen: Would you be interested in looking into emotion recognition and nonverbal behaviour related topics? I was so into it that we created the instrument together, wrote into my thesis, brought it with me in my psychiatry training, apply my PhD program and graduated with a parallel paradigm under fMRI, travel to Toronto and back to Tainan. My recent MOST projects are established and expanded from the idea.

Emotion recognition is the basis of social cognition. For today's talk, I will start with the development of the instrument, Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Accuracy 2-Taiwan version (DANVA-2-TW), and the application of DANVA-2-TW in different clinical group. I will demonstrate how the instrument was used to explore the psychopathology of various psychiatric disorders. I will use schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as examples and show how the research ideas at behavioural level being expanded to a wider concept of social cognition and investigate the possible neural mechanism of the emotional and social processing deficits in these patient groups. Using different imaging techniques, including functional MRI, Single-Photon Emission Computerized Tomography (SPECT), and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), I hope to investigate the association between social cognition and the brain networks, striatal dopaminergic system, and the balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission in the midline brain structures (medial prefrontal cortex and posterior medial cortex).Furthermore, I hope to discuss the association between sensory motor function and social cognitive function. Finally, I would like to explore the possible effect of environmental factors on social cognitive deficits in these populations.
