I think being able to read ppl's emotions on their faces is more like an extension of Emotional Intelligence (Wayne Payne, Greenspan, Salovey and Mayer, Daniel Goleman), though it can find applications in lie detection. Lie detection seems to be another sub-branch of social psychology itself => it is the psyche, nature and the myriad of reasons behind any lie that seems more impt, not just whether a person is lying or not.
My sister in law lies all the time. I realised when she lies or is bluffing one of her lies, she always pushed her chin forward and pouts as in the film.
@JonahTorn I think your information is very valid and should be considered by people trying to detect lies and the truth! Although, microexpressions are universal so when certain questions are asked by people and they react the way that most would when lying it's hard to blame it on TS. If the same spasms were occuring after every question asked I think one would pick up on it as the wrong emotion.
Tourette Syndrome causes by tics both subtle and dramatic expressions where ever there are muscles. Many prople with Tourette Syndrome are undiagnosed and have subtle tics. Sometimes I have muscle spams caused by TS (short for Tourette Syndrome) all over my body. I've had one side of my face flex side to side from the top to bottom & even my eyelids flexed side to side. It has been estimated that TS is in 1% of the population with many undiagnosed. What does that indicate about this reasearch?
@allfatz kk but how do you figure out someone is not telling the truth? lets asume you ask your wife if she cheated on you and she laughs about it and says of course not, but showing sadness for moment with a micro expression.. she could be regretting it, but she could as well be sad that you actually ask her something like that.. same as in eckmans example here.. the guy could aswell be angry that he has to be at court when he could as well be relaxing at home instead of being questioned.. ?
@NeonBirdy You can't judge a person by one micro expression.. It's like a puzzle you have to put together, each micro expression and reaction being a piece of a bigger picture. That's how you tell if someone is lying or telling the truth.
As Dr. Ekman has said; By jumping to conclusions you run the risk of making Othello's error. In which he killed Desdemona as she showed him fear. He thought it was the fear of being caught in the act of a betrayal, but in fact it was the fear of being disbelieved. Emotions and Micro-expressions tell us their thoughts and feelings, but they do not tell us their source. You have to find out the source of the emotion and put it all together without being presumptuous.
I think microexpressions are good for telling whether or not someone has clear emotions. However, if the emotions are generated by multiple simultaneous thoughts, where only maybe like only one or two of them have anything to do with the question being asked of them, then a person might actually be showing microexpressions even if they are telling the truth to the examiner. Their mind maybe overwhelmed with personal issues which are irrelevant to answering the question being asked.
Facial expressions are created by a part of the brain in the left hemisphere which means that they're displayed more prominently on the right side of the face. Dogs are the only other animal who can read human facial expressions. People who study dogs know because they glance at the right side of peoples faces when people talk to them. They have their own body language with other dogs so technically speaking dogs are bilingual. Chimps can't even do it!
all your broad strokes all your vague definitions ....i want to see the molecular structure of hate...or the chemistry compound that produces hate...then tell me how a specific outside stimulus can directly effect it...seriously..now sit there prove me that his eye twitich did not come from muscle exhaustion or an itch..
@adrianeaglrck This isn't a molecular thing. It's and evolutionary adaption that causes humans to move certain muscles when they experience certain internal changes which we know as emotions.
thats all facs is good for ...its just not credible proof....and certainly academics are not the authority on anything except for their highly liberal stand point on subject matter. stimulus from the outside world sets of the human body ...
facs are mostly useful to animators for artistic interpretation to drama and comedy, you obviously are mistaking emotions for dramatic display of facial movements...emotions are unprovable its you tell me where irrational atonement of ones action position related to a circumstance or situation...and define it as a hormone...because you can't you can't call dopamine an emotion you can't call histamine 1a receptor an emotion hormone..
@adrianeaglrck please press the reply button so that I know that you are directing your comment at me. Ekman wrote FACS not to be used as a tool for movies, but to identify real facial expressions. If you showed an expression of hate (scorn) then FACS will be able to tell me the severity of the emotion, you have obviously never read the manual. You still haven't answered my question. If it doesn't work, then why is it now being taught to nearly ever federal interogation agent in the US?
@Hobbzie02 Furthermore you must not have been listening when I said that emotions are in relation to exactly how we are feeling. You seem to think that I am saying that a certain hormone leads to a certain emotion, which is not at all true. When you feel an emotion it is the result of a "cocktail" of hormones in specific levels, you then express it with your face or other manipulations. If emotions are subjective and conscious reactions then how can a blind person show any emotion.
@Hobbzie02 and emotion is defined as an episode of interrelated, synchronized changes in the
states of all or most of the five organismic subsystems in response to
the evaluation of an external or internal stimulus event as relevant to
major concerns of the organism (Scherer, 1987, 2001). This does include consious acusations against the organism, i.e. If what is being said is a major concern to a person, they cannot help showing some sort of emotion which is where Ekman's research comes in.
Now your saying that every time i twitch i'm reflecting an emotion,listen not everyone believes in emotions at all...and its unproven that we even have them...so your analyzing drama and art and lack of logic....
@adrianeaglrck Ekman has stated that each twitch is not necessarily an emotional twitch. He has said that most are not.
The existence of emotions is not uncertain. Paul Ekman has developed a definition for "emotion", and when he talks about "emotions" he is using the things that fit that definition.
are the average graduates of psychology rich...really measure how much i hate you...oh right you can't . A micro twitch may express a reaction but to say that your synaptic hormone serotonin is correlated to a specific emotion of course is absurd...then you could say that thrill seekers are more likely to be caught or may unfairly targeted by this bull
@adrianeaglrck They are not all rich, but they are all employed and on average making more money than theoretical physicists. And actually you can measure degree of hate in a facial expression, using FACS coding. Emotions are instinctually correlated to reflect how we are feeling. When thought about this way seratonin (and many other hormones) levels are indeed directly correlated to facial expressions. And how does this make thrill seekers targeted? If analized properly it should not matter.
@adrianeaglrck then why is Ekman rich, and why are his techniques being used in every major law inforcement interigation room and airport? Maybe you think its not a science because you have never studied it. It isn't just a facial twitch that behavioral psychologists look at. It is a very complicated series of muscle movements that lead to a determination of lying or not. The expressions on you face that are not social (micro or subtle expressions) will ALWAYS reflect true emotion.
its too nonspecific to general to tell whether a tick or any facial expression is correlated to deception...if i were on a jury i would laugh if this was admitted into evidence...oh yeah his lower face muscles twitched..so therefore its a probable lie...
@adrianeaglrck He doesn't say that a twitch means someone is lying. Ekman says that certain muscle movements mean that a person is feeling a certain emotion. If someone shows anger when you mention a name, then you may want to look into why that is. One possibility could be that those people know and hate each other. If this is a murder case and the name is of the victim, then the angry person could have motive and become a suspect.
No that's not a micro expression. That means you don't believe what you're saying. And yes he is based on lie to me. And also yes he is an deception expert.
@missoliviajean1 It's at least a common tell, but I think microexpressions ae more to do with small facial feature changes. Off to the wiki to read up!
@missoliviajean1 that is not a micro expression. That could be a micro gesture. A micro expression is what appears on the face, your facial movments. Shaking your head does not require your facial muscles but yor neck and upper shoulder muscles. and how do u know he was shaking yes. he tilted his head down subtly. but me personally did not think he nodded.
@missoliviajean1 Its not a micro expression although it is somthing you should be looking out for im only 16 almost 17 but i do this stuff in my school and i catch liars whatever you write it :P i dunno how to write that:P
anyway i do it cuz its fun and im still learning too though i must say i've caught a lot of liars.
@missoliviajean1 No, it is not a microexpression. It's a mismatched emblem.
His book "Tellies Lies" is great by the way. It's organized a bit like a textbook, but it explains body language in a very organized way. I learned more about body language from his book than any other book. It's amazing what you can see by becoming good at this stuff.
i would like to know what typical signals exist to recognize a lie..ive seen many vids with very many different signals (move the elbow, lower your eyebrowns, the thing with the lips in this vid etc.) in my opinion there are too many to learn them all and to decide if theyre done unconsciously or not..am i wrong? :S is there a book, a website, something else where i can find these signals? (would be glad if these things were in german hehe ^^)
in the movie "true romance", when christopher walken is explainin to dennis hopper about pathomimes in the human face, he might be talkin about micro-expressions. he says to dennis hopper " its a matter of show and tell; you dont have to tell me anything, but you're showin me everything" and he goes on to explain that men have 17 pathomimes that show when they lie, and women have 20. that's the first ive heard of the science of facial lie detection, pathomime or micro-expression.
I don't wanna say he "got it wrong" but that did that seem like disbelief? I thought it was sorrow, or sadness, maybe, at being found out. I wouldn't say it was "disbelief." But I'm not the PhD you know
@thisisnotokay Well the expression in the lips are a part of "sadness" but notice the eyebrows its is not lowered and the eyelids did not contract and lower it self..the expression that man does it is in fact the same thing we do when we hear something ridiculous
@thisisnotokay I think the lip thing was similar to sadness, but not quite. For lack of a better term I would call it a "mouth-shrug". When people shrug or make some gesture to say "idk" then that is something you with your mouth. The man was unconsciously shrugging because he was disbelieving. Try making the expression you see and i think you'll find that you've made it while shrugging or something before.
lol.. Prof. Paul Eckman did discover micro expressions.. hahaha the movie lie to me is based on paul eckman's discovery of micro expression and his profession in determining if people is lying or not. :D and by the way, i love that show, Lie to Me. ^_^
I think the average person is better than they know at detecting liars but its usually just a feeling or suspicion that you are being lied to. This guy has made an art of it!
I love being able to detect micro expressions, fun game everyone. Watch reality tv shows like big brother or americas next top model whatever. And try to detect micro expressions!
Would autistic people be more likely to be victim of a false positive in this type of test?
What about people who have racing thoughts who tend to mix the emotions tied to events unrelated to the present with emotions tied to the answer to the question given?
What happens when an anticipated threat, based on some fear that one might be falsely accused, leads to a micro expression that is translated as "deception"?
any resources for free training for all this micro-expression recognition? examples?
This is so cool, I've also heard of it in "Lie to Me" but I didn't realize how real was that...these examples are simply amazing - a split second of emotion leakage...
@mvolokh101 for the best training you could spend about $70 dollars on the micro expression training tool(METT) advanced. I did it and it was worth it for sure. You could also get the original METT for $20, which is the one I got first. It's no where near as good as the advanced, but it will still help you to improve a little. I would also suggest the subtle expression training tool(SETT) for after the METT. It's like micro expressions, but it only uses 1 part of the face, like just the eyelids.
I can't avoid it. And now that I know these things it's even harder to realize when I am subconciously giving myself up, because now I know I fucked up.
The main point is that some muscles included in creating facial expressions are not under conscious control. When you feel a strong emotion, the expression comes out no matter what. If you try to suppress it, than it will vanish fast - but, with proper equipment you can tape it, and look it back on a slower speed. Really long and boring job to do, I tell you!
@ArgentinoZ1 People can try to suppress their emotions, but if they are strong, they will show in the form of micro or subtle expressions. Some people don't usually show micro expressions, but the majority definitely do. After the training I took at his website, I see them in my friends all the time. It's not mind reading. It just tells you if they're getting annoyed or if they're sad or something.
He is a Psycologist with a further degree in Psychiatry.. You dont need to be a psycologist to be able to read microexpressions, you can purchase training programmes from his website. You can also sign up for a newsletter written by him.
Because creating the actual coding system he uses took years of hard work, learning it takes months, so it is not something you can genuinely present in some weekday series. Make a blooper in the movie, and you'll see masses of rabid people scolding and ridiculing psychology. That's how it usually goes anyway.
@vic108701 technically it's not based off of him, but Ekman is the scientific consultant for the show. Some of the things, like the suicidal patient lying to get out of a mental hospital, leading to the discovery of micro expressions, were taken from Ekman's life though.
Paul Ekman is teaching a pseudo science like NLP. It has it's new age followers who will attack anyone who tells them they are not endowed with learned super powers. Expressions are seen and learned with out knowing the feelings behind them. Nobody knows why they make the expressions they do -- just that someone else did them.
paul ekman did not discover microexpressions he just realised you can use them to find deception, it was William Condon who discovered microexpressions
@ladypuhlease OK. Condon discovered microMOVEMENTS. They are small quick movements of the rest of the body. Ekman was the one who took it to the face and found microEXPRESSIONS.
Yeah pual ekman discovered them, they actually have a group called the Ekman Group and they do some cases, not quite like in the show but its still pretty cool.
@poobearpanda345 Prof. Paul Ekman (the man in the video) actually discovered the micro expressions. The character of Cal Lightman on the show "Lie to me" is based on him. Paul Ekman is the real human lie detector.
@agbar113 No, Darwin only stated that there were universal expressions of emotion. It wasnt until Ekman analyzed footage frame by frame til' they discovered ME.
@poobearpanda345 well, he may not have discovered them, but paul eckman and a colleague recorded all the different ways your face can move and he attached emotion to each of them, so he basically created the system of classification for microexpressions. he did this REALLY interesting experiment with couples, where he had them come in, he taped them talk about any situation and then he broke down the video by frames and predicted whether or not the couple would last.
I think being able to read ppl's emotions on their faces is more like an extension of Emotional Intelligence (Wayne Payne, Greenspan, Salovey and Mayer, Daniel Goleman), though it can find applications in lie detection. Lie detection seems to be another sub-branch of social psychology itself => it is the psyche, nature and the myriad of reasons behind any lie that seems more impt, not just whether a person is lying or not.

When people shrug or make some gesture to say "idk" then that is something you with your mouth. The man was unconsciously shrugging because he was disbelieving. Try making the expression you see and i think you'll find that you've made it while shrugging or something before.

Would autistic people be more likely to be victim of a false positive in this type of test?
What about people who have racing thoughts who tend to mix the emotions tied to events unrelated to the present with emotions tied to the answer to the question given?
What happens when an anticipated threat, based on some fear that one might be falsely accused, leads to a micro expression that is translated as "deception"?

This is so cool, I've also heard of it in "Lie to Me" but I didn't realize how real was that...these examples are simply amazing - a split second of emotion leakage...

@mvolokh101 for the best training you could spend about $70 dollars on the micro expression training tool(METT) advanced. I did it and it was worth it for sure. You could also get the original METT for $20, which is the one I got first. It's no where near as good as the advanced, but it will still help you to improve a little. I would also suggest the subtle expression training tool(SETT) for after the METT. It's like micro expressions, but it only uses 1 part of the face, like just the eyelids.

The main point is that some muscles included in creating facial expressions are not under conscious control. When you feel a strong emotion, the expression comes out no matter what. If you try to suppress it, than it will vanish fast - but, with proper equipment you can tape it, and look it back on a slower speed. Really long and boring job to do, I tell you!

@ArgentinoZ1 People can try to suppress their emotions, but if they are strong, they will show in the form of micro or subtle expressions. Some people don't usually show micro expressions, but the majority definitely do. After the training I took at his website, I see them in my friends all the time. It's not mind reading. It just tells you if they're getting annoyed or if they're sad or something.

He is a Psycologist with a further degree in Psychiatry.. You dont need to be a psycologist to be able to read microexpressions, you can purchase training programmes from his website. You can also sign up for a newsletter written by him.

froggie9219 1 year ago
Because creating the actual coding system he uses took years of hard work, learning it takes months, so it is not something you can genuinely present in some weekday series. Make a blooper in the movie, and you'll see masses of rabid people scolding and ridiculing psychology. That's how it usually goes anyway.

Paul Ekman is teaching a pseudo science like NLP. It has it's new age followers who will attack anyone who tells them they are not endowed with learned super powers. Expressions are seen and learned with out knowing the feelings behind them. Nobody knows why they make the expressions they do -- just that someone else did them.

@poobearpanda345 well, he may not have discovered them, but paul eckman and a colleague recorded all the different ways your face can move and he attached emotion to each of them, so he basically created the system of classification for microexpressions. he did this REALLY interesting experiment with couples, where he had them come in, he taped them talk about any situation and then he broke down the video by frames and predicted whether or not the couple would last.
