Understanding body movement a guide to empirical research on nonverbal behaviour : with an introduction to the NEUROGES coding system
This book is an interdisciplinary guide to empirical research on nonverbal behaviour. It focuses on tools and procedures to investigate body movement and gesture and the relation to cognitive, emotional, and interactive processes. NEUROGES is an objective and reliable coding system for movement beha...
