“…One study of iconic symbols of faces and houses compared to their scrambled counterparts found responses in bilateral fusiform gyri, including a region corresponding to the VWFA (Shin et al, 2008). Another study exploring task differences showed that attention to letters, line symbols or colours gave overlapping responses in the fusiform gyri bilaterally, as well as a region lateral to the left VWFA responding to letters (Flowers et al, 2004).…”

“…We examined four classes of symbolic stimuli: visual words, musical notation, instructive symbols that indicate actions, and flags or logos that represent a national or corporate entity. For clarity, we focused upon emblematic symbols, for which the relation between the symbol's shape and the concept, item or event it signifies is arbitrary, in contrast to iconic symbols, which have a form that captures the defining physical aspects of the class of objects to which they refer (Shin et al, 2008). For each of the four classes we created an equivalent set of stimuli that did not have any symbolic content.…”

“…In another study, Shin et al (2008) compared brain activity for pictures of real faces and real houses with their corresponding schematic icons to observe the neural basis for iconic symbol recognition. For this purpose, they used emoticons as face icons.…”

Facial expressions constitute a rich source of non-verbal cues in face-to-face communication. They provide interlocutors with resources to express and interpret verbal messages, which may affect their cognitive and emotional processing. Contrarily, computer-mediated communication (CMC), particularly text-based communication, is limited to the use of symbols to convey a message, where facial expressions cannot be transmitted naturally. In this scenario, people use emoticons as paralinguistic cues to convey emotional meaning. Research has shown that emoticons contribute to a greater social presence as a result of the enrichment of text-based communication channels. Additionally, emoticons constitute a valuable resource for language comprehension by providing expressivity to text messages. The latter findings have been supported by studies in neuroscience showing that particular brain regions involved in emotional processing are also activated when people are exposed to emoticons. To reach an integrated understanding of the influence of emoticons in human communication on both socio-cognitive and neural levels, we review the literature on emoticons in three different areas. First, we present relevant literature on emoticons in CMC. Second, we study the influence of emoticons in language comprehension. Finally, we show the incipient research in neuroscience on this topic. This mini review reveals that, while there are plenty of studies on the influence of emoticons in communication from a social psychology perspective, little is known about the neurocognitive basis of the effects of emoticons on communication dynamics.

Various kinds of icons for visual communications have been used from the very beginning of human history. We can find such various kinds of icons in world's wall paintings or hieroglyphs and so on. There are lots of similarities among these icons. Because of this, even though most of us are not using these icons or old characters, we sometimes feel a kind of nostalgic feeling toward these forms.This art realizes the integration of various kinds of icons that have existed throughout the human history and throughout the human races, jumping the gap of time and space. And these integrated icons are augmented on the actual scenery of today.On a display of a smart phone, there are various icons flowing around on the space. Users are allowed to write the "NEW" meaning of the icon sequence in English. The pictograph and the background are synthesized together.
