Philosophers have put forward a new model that explains how humans recognize the emotions of others. According to their theory, humans are capable of perceiving feelings directly via pattern recognition. They do not have to deduce feelings by interpreting other people’s behavior.

They do not have to deduce feelings by interpreting other people’s behavior.
OTOH:
An emotion is a pattern of typical features. Humans are able to perceive typical emotion patterns even if the clues are sparse.

So, how is recognizing a pattern with only some clues different from interpreting behaviour? Aren't the clues exactly those parts of behavior that can be interpreted?

Or, maybe, it's just my lousy understanding for science lingo.

Will look for more information in German.
