Ethologists followed Darwin's lead in describing animal signals as expressions of emotional or motivational state, and many ethologists thought that expressive signals were incompatible with referential ones.
Our hope is that our findings will help other scientists and engineers more precisely capture the emotional states that underlie moods, brain activity and expressive signals, leading to improved psychiatric treatments, an understanding of the brain basis of emotion and technology responsive to our emotional needs.

"People can misinterpret expressive signals".
"People can misinterpret expressive signals". explained University College London's reader in affective interaction and computing.
However, since the 1980's there is a growing body of evidence that undermines the assumption that there is a dichotomy between expressive signals and referential ones, and some argue that animal signals can inform receivers about both motivational state and external objects or events (Marler et al. 1992; Manser et al. 2002).
Universalist theories have demonstrated that basic emotions such as fear (LeDoux 1996/1999) provide expressive signals and appraisals that can trigger or bias agent-identification (Gerrans 2012; Langdon 2011).
"It's clean, expressive and signals the direction we're going to take the brand in the next two years".
Finally, I demonstrate the reason neural networks are so expressive by analyzing signal propagation in random neural networks using tools from Riemannian geometry and mean field theory.
SCOTT DOORLEY: One thing that an organization can do to create opportunities for people that work there to be more creative and be more expressive is actually signaling, by way of opportunities, physical things people can do.
The disadvantage, however, is that consensus patterns are not as expressive of the DNA signal as profile representations.
