Abstract
In this text we confront a puzzling incongruity: People seem capable of mimicking others' facial, vocal, and postural expressions with stunning rapidity and, consequently, are able to “feel themselves into” others' emotional lives to a surprising extent; however, they also seem oblivious to the importance of emotional contagion in social encounters, and unaware of how swiftly and completely they are able to track the expressions of others.
