Updated preprint:

In two new experiments (Study 2a&b) added to the manuscript linked below, participants learned about an alien's emotions by observing a noisy cue - its eyes (see gif). Behind the scenes, the eyes were controlled by a dynamic state space model (2nd image). Supporting the results we reported earlier, we found that the alien's transition dynamics shaped how participants conceptualized its emotions (3rd image).
