microexpressions are the same for every person, theres just hundreds of combinations so the emotions arent always the exact same or the same intensity. blinking is not a microexpression, although it can be a sign of things like additional cognitive thinking, and it doesnt always mean a lie
You really missed almost all of the actual microexpressions here. There were several very informative examples throughout this presentation despite the fact that there wasn't a great deal of pressure on the individuals giving the statements, NONE of which were pointed out by you. And often the things you pointed out were unreliable. I suggest you look into Paul Ekman's work, he even has a training tool for recognizing microexpressions and subtle expressions to increase your competency here.
The funny thing is most of the time you point out the eye contact or the lack thereof but you miss to point out almost all facial (micro)-expressions, like lip and eyebrow movement which are a lot more enlightening.
“I love to talk to people, giving presentations is my favorite activity.”— the mouth tells otherwise (disgust).
Examples for truthful facial expressions completely missing, e.g. the sadness (eyebrows) during the story about the dog put to sleep or tight lips after the surf-trip lie.
This study its not well done. They have nothing to lose or gain, so they are only reading false sentences about their lives, wich its no the same as lie. I'm sorry but I think they read fast and blink a lot because they feel stupid about what they are doing and wanted to end it quickly. Anyway, this study can be usefull for trying to understand what they are really thinking. For ex: the older guy smiled when he read the "korean wife lie" because he thinks that lie is funny.
What you discuss are not micro-expressions, some of them are gestual slips, eg the touching of the glasses, and you also mentioned language; taking longer to say the statement. I woud explain, but I don't think I could do a better job than 'mmacombat'.
Also any emotional responses; like micro-expressions, while they tell you someone is lying, it won't tell you why. Also alot of the body language they were showing is most likely due to the fear of the camera-'Christina' shifting in her seat.
This might be a little late... but you need to ask a series of questions that you know of which they're telling the truth. Then from there ask questions that might get a lying response. Everyone blinks, and one might blink or look away when telling the truth... Every individual is different. You need to create an environment where you're in control and know what the reactions of the interviewee are. Nice vid though.
Thank you my constructive-criticism is, slow down the first part by about 75% and I won't have to link internally, to keep my face from going insane, in mirror-expression smpathy. Love your work! Friend me let's spread the anti-facial discrimination, pro-facial freedom efforts!
ok first of all for vics part of the video which is the easiest one for others who dont know much about micro expressions. the blinking does not really play a huge rule the guy wears glasses. THE REAL THING TO LOOK FOR in his session is his right cheeck and the right side of the mouth when ever he lies he has a slight smirk and his dimple appears just watch closely at 1:52 when he says three wonderful children. and again at 1:57 pause it still and you will see his head held high and a smirk
You missed the two biggest micro expressions with Mark. He shakes his head "no" twice (the only time in the video) when he is saying how he almost got sponsored. This says that he doesn't believe what he is saying. The second one is the exaggerated lip shrug at the end of his second lie. You might have missed this because he does a lip shrug after every sentence, mostly before saying "um" but the last one is much bigger and more tight lipped.
your problem is that you didnt establish a baseline. maybe you did but we didnt get to see it. a baseline is how the person acts when they are telling the truth. blinking often could a normal physical trait for that person. blinking could also mean that simply something is in there eye, thats were you inturpt them and ask. then they might start noticing that its what you are looking at and try to control it, thats when other microexpressions slip out
There are some individuals who are keen at reading people's "microexpressions" who are capable of being dangerous to other people's happiness, and I would never trust a person such as them. These types of people can be too "smart" for their own good, thinking they are good at detecting lies and insecurities in others, when in fact they are in reality making that person feel uncomfortable...and are even trying to exploit their weaknesses to further their own greedy ends.
dont interprate too much in this blinking thing, you have to look at the whole body, i mean emotions, gestures and micro-expressions, the tone and speed of the sentences... only if you put all these facts into your analysis, you can detect, i dont want to say 100 %, but 70% of all lies
Another thing is, blinking, direct eye contact, tone of speech and speed of speech AREN'T microexpressions. They aren't expressions at all. Anger, sadness, contempt and disgust are microexpressions. Could the person who uploaded this video change the title? ...
@InevitableCommotion thats true but these are all manipulators (nonverbal behavior) if they dont do that in there base line then it can be sighns of deception
Contempt is universal. The thing to understand about microexpressions is that they do not convey emotions directly. It is the combination of microexpressions that can result in an apparent emotion being presented. Edward Hall did interesting research on interpersonal proxemics, studying how people use the space around them. This cannot be confused with someone "feeling" something towards someone else or about themselves.
This was more about standard bodylanguage or psychological tells as opposed to microexpressions. As mentioned before, the stakes are not high enough for those.
mixed results, by what they said at the end micro expressions are different in every person, how do you know what to look for in that person. I saw other signs of micro expressions in some of those poeple. I also saw less in others. Some i would say told more truth and one guy i would say told all lies (mark at 3:10). he has alot of eye, mouth movements throught and also in his first two statements he justify's them which is a possibly sign of lying. I would like to see more explanations.
3:31-3:33 disbelieve by tighting his lips and a head shake from left to right who means "No".This gesture is often accompanied by a word/sentence (it was amazing) that means the opposite. 4:05 manipulative gesture (scratchs his hand) lies about his mother.

even more noticeable then the blinking no one saw how some shook there heads no while saying they are afraid of the dogs,, and guy who guy sad he had cool vacation some here shaking no with his head ... they dont agree with what there saying !! = in this case lying
@mmacombat your right blinking isn't a microexpression it's an indicator. And adjusting glass is a manipulator, before an experiment the maker of the video should take a better look on the subject of the experiment...
People take longer to think about the truth than a lie, most people dont know this but the people in this study were aware they had to lie, they would have most likely prepapared a lie in advance, they're responses (lies) would only have been slower if they had prepared it on the spot.
Good Job. Microexpressions are at higher stakes though, the blinking was due to reading and pressure, the smiling and all that indicates the seriousness in which they took the project, although the level at the end that the older man took the lies at with eye contact was precise due to the level of concentration he put into it, he had some form of respect for himself that's why you saw no conceilled smiles etc.
I think this experiment is a good basis for opening up the study. But I do not believe this video offers proof of constancy regarding micro expressions. A good actor can make you believe what they want you to believe. Unconscious revelations are another phase and I would think and more in keeping with the theory of micro expression accuracy.
This video looks like it was made for a high school intro to sociology class. It focuses on all the obvious, yet often misleading cues and detracts from the opportunity to catch the real lies. Blinking is a facial action, not a specific microexpression, and at many points did not actually indicate a lie, as the video would suggest. Lowering of eyebrows and widening smiles are also facial actions and should not be presumed to be microexpressions that do not match the verbal data being given.
I've been doing all the things in this vid my entire life! And without lying! The whole lie detection biz is nothing but bullshit. So, when I do these when im alone am I lying to myself? Laughable! Along with"handwriting analysis". These 'sciences' should be under the category of VOODOO because they are equally incredulous.
if by things you mean expressions then you should also know that it depends on the situation. You can do any expression any time and non of those should mean that you are hiding something. However there are certain high-stake situations where people want to lie and tend to give away their anxiety by giving certain quick expressions. "lie detection" is just noticing the signs of anxiety or lack of it while someone is talking about something.
@kichwa123 any one can see correct, but not every one will take notice to it, get someone to look at this video for the first time and cover the part when it tell you the blinking fast ect and the first part of the explaning, i bet they cant guess when they are lying.
@kichwa123 well i guess you are right here this video explan micro ex but DID NOT show them, micro ex only have 7 types "happy, sad, fear, anger,contempt, suprise and disgust" i think
Micro expressions are universal throughout every individual and are unconscious acts meaning we do these without noticing
Micro expression include very brief expression that are categorized into 7 different expressions.
Anger, Contempt, Disgust, Fear, Sadness, Surprise and Happiness.
Increased blinking rate, direct eye contact for long periods, moving in seat, touching glasses or other facial features like neck or ear, etc. These are all signs of lying. However, they are not micro expressions
@lolreallylongusernam Indeed. do u watch the show lie to me? i have been formed of microexpression, and want to take it at collage and futher on, but the science is really hard.
The problem with this study is that the participants had no real stake. The more important it is for the liar not to have his lie detected the more obvious the microexpressions are. A better approach might be to make the deception a game with a significant monetary reward for the best liar. There must be a desire to suppress an underlying emotion such as anger, contempt, surprise or fear. You have to provoke an emotion that the liar wishes you not to see to produce a micro expression.
@harrywhodeenie I totally agree, there`s no emotional connection between what they're saying and the emotions. What I mean, they are not emotionally committed with the lies. They dont care, there`s "no punishment" if the truth comes out. Cuz they were asked to read not-true stories about them, wich its not the same as lie.
Having seen this video I am pretty certain the experimenter knew which stories were lies, and which weren't. Many of the 'microexpressions' seem to have been sought out, knowing something was a lie. Instead of finding a valid microexpression it is just pointing to something someone did while saying something he or she identified as being a lie.
Take Marlene. You identify what seems like random blinking, as a microexpression. While after her last story she shows a microexpression with her lips.
Some of the indicators said are really not that relevant. A broader smile can indicate a more happy experience. Eye blinking can indicate a memory recalled but not stated. There are really no certain lie indicators. You could only detect deception leakages and connect those with others or dig deeper about those leakages.
These really arent microexpressions. There are 7 of them. Nd im pretty sure they said that all 7 apply to EVERYONE. We all display happiness, sadness, fear, Contempt, anger, disgust and surprise in the same manner.
Nd they are called expressions, wat people did in this vid i believe is more Body Language than anything. the blinking and making MORE eye contact wen lying, not areally a microexpression. jus a give-away
half of these aren't micro expressions, a micro expression is basically a facial movement that slips through before the person brings on the lying facial expressions, i.e. a happy face before showing sadness, normally it's a 5th of a second... these are mostly manipulators and microrythms
aaaa!!! microexpressions ARE NOT blinking more frequently, smiling broadly or eye aversion! they represent the seven basic emotions: contempt, surprise, happiness, sadness, fear, anger and disgust. the information in this video is just not true!!!
Thx for posting! Try watching with no sound. You'll pick up on so much more. Here's what I got as well.. 1:33 Shakes head no. 1:51 Strong swallow. before 1st lie then after the 2nd (Discomfort) 2:43 head shake no 2:49 Discomfort the whole time. 3:18 Raised Inner eyebrows (sadness) 3:23 Raised Inner eyebrows 3:26 Shakes head no then looks down. (sadness, possible guilt) 3:33 mouth shrug (Disbelief, negation) 3:36 Contempt 4:06 Moves chair back & rubs arm (Pacify).
Yea, Masterwid and Aesantor are right. a couple notes, there are other micro expresions that give away lies than... excessive blinking... koff koff... that wierdest one was the woman (Elaine maybe?) who said she loved her husband very much smiled and then showed what was either sadness or disgust with the downturn to her lips. the disgust not meaning her husband disgusts her persay, although it is a possablity, but more that she is 'disgusted' by her lie. SHE DOESNT BELIEVE WHAT SHE SAYS!!!
The last guy not only makes direct eye contact when lying, but also turned his lips when telling the first lie and smiled briftly when telling the second lie about his wife. Microexpressions are used in context not separate.
Yea hes the worse liar out of all of them. If you watch closely he maintains eye contact about the first three thruths as well until he says 'Shes's really pretty'. For the lies he then looks away from the man. Meaning he must be telling the truth that hes in love but he doesn't think shes that pretty. Also when he shakes his head he also a sad microexpression.
If there is irritation in the eye, you can simply follow with a question of "Are your eyes ok?" When they answer the question you can detect if its a lie. Also, if they eye is irritated, the person would be fidgeting with it often.
And microexpressions AREN'T different from people to people, sorry, but that was just retarded, l2read. - Btw everyone who is interested ont he matter should watch, "Lie to me".
I agree with Masterwid, microexpressions are most definitely NOT different from people to people. In fact microexpressions are UNIVERSAL. However, different microexpressions refer to different emotions, which explains the differences. And about Lie to me, it IS a great show but reading Paul Ekman's books "Unmasking the Face" or "Telling Lies" is really more eye opening (Ekman is the model Cal Lightman is based on).
Definitely watch "Lie to me" but remember he is acting a professional with many years of experience. This was a great way of trying to see if you can detect lies too
Great video and I love the science, though I think that microexpressions are really hard to pick up on when people are reading. - When reading they often shift gaze and people tend to lie more when they make up the lies on their own.
Whoever did this... You have no idea what you're talking about. Blinking often? Shifting glasses? Blinking is not a microexpression. Moving your glasses is not a microexpression.
You said one girl touching her glasses was lying, then the guy at the end touched his but that wasn't a lie?
Next time, try understanding something before you post on it and look like an idiot.
who ever did this test is a tool. all thats in there is this person blinked and delayed responses, ya this can be a sign of bullshit but come on. on person said they got married to elvas in vagas for fuck sake and thats supposed to be the truth.
You can see slight smiles or other things sometimes. Especially like 3:23 I'm pretty sure that was a lie. He looks upper rights (fabrication) and smirks. Before he says it he looks like he's thinking about what he's about to say.
I didn't say there are no microexpressions within this video. But all of the indicators the author of the video is pointing out (voice tone changes, eyebrows raise, broader smile, etc) are not microexpressions in their respective context.
This video explains nothing. My guess is that they looked at who was lying after and searched for whatever they could get, just to link the lie to a bodymovement.
This cheating is missleading and I consider it disgusting. But I bet you wouldn't notice.
yep. that's what i think too. like the one guy sitting at a computer desk. blinking was his giveaway. Well, if i was talking for however long that was, i might just blink twice too. and he also looked back at the paper twice, why only 1 indicated a false story is beyond me.
Also to really be able to spot lies you can't rely on specific gestures, you need to quickly evaluate that person's personality.
i.e. If the guy doesn't make eye contact all the time it doesn't mean he is a lier, it means he is introverted.
Also if there is nothing really stressful on lying something (like expecting punishment), there won't be enough stress to spot. Also if a lie is rehearsed, the more you practice the less signs will be shown (the more self-confident you become).
if someone does a microexpression like disgust, anger, sadness at the end of a statement its almost a lie for sure. Again, unless they are talking about something that will tick em off, digust them or sadden them.
I agree on the stress.
Rehearsed lies are the easiest to crack. the persons body language will shift into 'alpha mode' because he knows he rehearsed for it so he thinks he is superior to you. another possibility is contempt towards you because he thinks he outhinked you.
gredfallen, actually there aren't any "sure" signs of lying. Not because someone flashes a "microexpression of sadness, disgust, anger at the end of a statement" means he is lying. The only thing sure is that he might be holding back some emotions. THE ONLY TIME that a microexpression MIGHT suggest a lie is when the statement and the emotion is contradicting, like: I am really happy (and a sadness microexpression).
I understand what you mean, thank you for that clarification. You sound like you really know what you are talking about, are you a professional in the field? And when you say a shift in the behavior, do you mean an unreasonable response, contrary emblems or manipulators... what do you mean by that?
I actually meant to say illustrators and manipulators. You know, there are basically three ways of "moving" our hands and arms. If someone touches their fingers, arms or hands, or any part of their body or anything without any real purpose it is called a "manipulator". If you are talking about how beautiful and big was the mountain you saw while moving your arms to exemplify the shape of it, it is called an "Illustrator".
If you are doing a gesture with a specific meaning, like an Italian doing the "What the fuck" italian gesture with their hand that can be misunderstood in India (it is understood as eating) which means that it has a very specific, culturally dependent meaning, is called an "emblem".
By rule of thumb if there is an increase of manipulators and a decrease of illustrators, it can indicate lying.
The logic behind this is because manipulators arises when there is stress and tension, while also your hands naturally can't "illustrate" what never was experienced (unless you train yourself to force yourself to illustrate, or have a very vivid imagination)
The emblems can reveal what you really feel through the "emblematic slips": unconscious hand or body postures (emblems) that reveals what you are really feeling/thinking.
Of course you must be able to evaluate correctly depending on context.
I did know about emblems from reading ekman's telling lies, the student flipping off the prof is an awesome example. I had heard of illustrators and manipulators as well, but didnt quite understand the difference. That is a great explination, thanks! But on the subject of manipulators now that i have a better understanding, what if someone is just hanging out, like by the water cooler for example and is rubbing his chin, but isnt talking to anyone. is this still a manipulator?
The emblem you refer to at 3:31, is it the head shake from side to side? and based solely on the video, would you draw conclusions that he did or didnt? because the head shake is contrary i mean.
One discovery that Ekman did was that the emotions expressed in the face has a feedback or it is reciprocal. I mean not only when you feel an emotion is reflected on the face, also the expression itself triggers an emotion.
Try doing his expression exactly as he does, pressing his lips and shaking his head side to side. What do you feel? Would you express yourself that something beautiful happened while doing that facial expression?
No matter where is standing or what is doing, if it is talking or not. If someone is rubbing any part of their body with anything without any specific purpose, is a manipulator. For example, if a girl is touching her hair to straighten her hair, it is not a manipulator. If she is touching her hair just for the sake of it, it is a manipulator.
If someone is rubbing the water cooler (with any part of his body) without any reason, it is a manipulator.
Hey, so since you seem to be the most knowledgeable on this subject i can get into contact with, i had a question about ekman's research. He describes a non-symetrical emotion as likely to not be true, that it is sign that someone is faking that emotion. but what about the contempt smile? where one side of the lip is pulled up due to the nostril crease. would that be considered a false emotional reaction or is it an exception?
The funny thing about asymmetrical expressions are that there were identified 9 possible expressions, and it was found that 8 of those asymmetrical expressions in depressive patients. 4 of those asymmetrical expressions are related to contempt, and those expressing contempt attempted to commit suicide.
Also answering to your question, there is a distinction between asymmetrical expression and unilateral expression. An asymmetrical expression is when there are actions in both sides of the face, but one part is slightly stronger than the other. An unilateral expression is when only one side of the face is expressing something, those kind of expressions are not emotional but emblematic, with the exception of contempt.
Now, why an asymmetrical expression might imply lie? Well, the only thing we can assume is not what the subject is saying is true or not, but that the emotion is trying to show is most likely false.
Why? Because asymmetrical expressions are voluntarily made expressions, not spontaneous. The explanation of how they realized that, is too long to be explained in youtube.
Well, I simply get obsessed with the subject after watching the movie "Meet the Parents" in the year 2000. The "doesn't need a machine. He's a human lie detector" line stuck in my head, and since then I couldn't stop researching about the subject.
Now I have the training book that officers in several gov't agencies use in interrogations, the (im)precise nature of the polygraphs, and even my microexpression training tool was quite easy, I scored 90% the very first time I tested myself...
There aren't many microexpressions, actually the woman who says "I love my husband" she shows a genuine smile (real joy), but it is full a smile, not a microexpression.
All the comments that the videomaker does are not related to microexpressions.
The guy that says "I love my girlfriend" shows sadness in his forehead and he nods "no" with his head, interesting.
If you make people read statements you can't reliably tell if they are lying, since they have assurance of what they are going to say.
What I mean with the reading stuff, many times you can spot someone who is lying because people usually have to remember stuff that happened, accessing memories usually means truth. Detailed remembering takes some time and to break eye contact momentarily is normal. If something is rehearsed normally it is revealed very quickly without breaking eye contact, it is a potential sign of lying.
If not rehearsed it takes more time to create a story with more frequent long pauses in the middle.
i agree..it was obvious when he made that statement about his girlfriend but he didnt nod his head though,at 3:23, there's saddness as well as regret....and he nodded his head no when he said he had a amazing time in fiji
the girl who said i love my husband flashed disgust sadness... maybe fear. i cant tell if the lips downturned or just went horizontal. it might be sadness since crows feet, the duchennee smile marker can appear in sadness as well. im not trying to disagree, its just what i read and im curious as to what you think about it.
without telling us what anecdotes where the truth and what ones where the lies then the accuracy of their predictions cant be confirmed. and there are something they defiantly missed. for one that mark guy. when he told that story about his dog being put down for a brief second his eyebrows where oblique showing sadness. he did not show the same expression when reciting the story about his cat, suggesting that the story about his cat was not true.
a micro expression is a tenth of a second long. usually the easiest to see are in the mouth/cheek/nose area. blinking is not a micro expression, but can be a sign of nervousness. my understanding of micro expressions is that your emotional reactions happen faster then your conscious efforts to hide them, so your emotions show, then the rest of your brain trying to hide that emotion catches up and stops the facial expression. all in 1/10th of a second
So sometimes direct eye contact is a sign of lying, and sometimes looking away is a sign of lying. Real helpful.

The funny thing is most of the time you point out the eye contact or the lack thereof but you miss to point out almost all facial (micro)-expressions, like lip and eyebrow movement which are a lot more enlightening.
“I love to talk to people, giving presentations is my favorite activity.”— the mouth tells otherwise (disgust).
Examples for truthful facial expressions completely missing, e.g. the sadness (eyebrows) during the story about the dog put to sleep or tight lips after the surf-trip lie.

There are some individuals who are keen at reading people's "microexpressions" who are capable of being dangerous to other people's happiness, and I would never trust a person such as them. These types of people can be too "smart" for their own good, thinking they are good at detecting lies and insecurities in others, when in fact they are in reality making that person feel uncomfortable...and are even trying to exploit their weaknesses to further their own greedy ends.

Contempt is universal. The thing to understand about microexpressions is that they do not convey emotions directly. It is the combination of microexpressions that can result in an apparent emotion being presented. Edward Hall did interesting research on interpersonal proxemics, studying how people use the space around them. This cannot be confused with someone "feeling" something towards someone else or about themselves.

mixed results, by what they said at the end micro expressions are different in every person, how do you know what to look for in that person. I saw other signs of micro expressions in some of those poeple. I also saw less in others. Some i would say told more truth and one guy i would say told all lies (mark at 3:10). he has alot of eye, mouth movements throught and also in his first two statements he justify's them which is a possibly sign of lying. I would like to see more explanations.

Microexpressions are universal
People take longer to think about the truth than a lie, most people dont know this but the people in this study were aware they had to lie, they would have most likely prepapared a lie in advance, they're responses (lies) would only have been slower if they had prepared it on the spot.
If people are telling the truth
1. they will take longer to remember
2. avoid stonewalling
3. include uncessary details.
4. Backtrack to correct mistakes
5. Direct eyecontact

Good Job. Microexpressions are at higher stakes though, the blinking was due to reading and pressure, the smiling and all that indicates the seriousness in which they took the project, although the level at the end that the older man took the lies at with eye contact was precise due to the level of concentration he put into it, he had some form of respect for himself that's why you saw no conceilled smiles etc.

I think this experiment is a good basis for opening up the study. But I do not believe this video offers proof of constancy regarding micro expressions. A good actor can make you believe what they want you to believe. Unconscious revelations are another phase and I would think and more in keeping with the theory of micro expression accuracy.
russocomedy 1 year ago
This video looks like it was made for a high school intro to sociology class. It focuses on all the obvious, yet often misleading cues and detracts from the opportunity to catch the real lies. Blinking is a facial action, not a specific microexpression, and at many points did not actually indicate a lie, as the video would suggest. Lowering of eyebrows and widening smiles are also facial actions and should not be presumed to be microexpressions that do not match the verbal data being given.

if by things you mean expressions then you should also know that it depends on the situation. You can do any expression any time and non of those should mean that you are hiding something. However there are certain high-stake situations where people want to lie and tend to give away their anxiety by giving certain quick expressions. "lie detection" is just noticing the signs of anxiety or lack of it while someone is talking about something.

Micro expressions are universal throughout every individual and are unconscious acts meaning we do these without noticing
Micro expression include very brief expression that are categorized into 7 different expressions.
Anger, Contempt, Disgust, Fear, Sadness, Surprise and Happiness.
Increased blinking rate, direct eye contact for long periods, moving in seat, touching glasses or other facial features like neck or ear, etc. These are all signs of lying. However, they are not micro expressions

Shaking your head is a sign of disbelief in what you're saying. If you watch closely, after he finishes the sentence he swallows. Another sign.
Also, with the last one, about him losing his uncle in 9/11, he shows deep sadness meaning it's true. Just something I picked up on with that one.

The problem with this study is that the participants had no real stake. The more important it is for the liar not to have his lie detected the more obvious the microexpressions are. A better approach might be to make the deception a game with a significant monetary reward for the best liar. There must be a desire to suppress an underlying emotion such as anger, contempt, surprise or fear. You have to provoke an emotion that the liar wishes you not to see to produce a micro expression.

@harrywhodeenie I totally agree, there`s no emotional connection between what they're saying and the emotions. What I mean, they are not emotionally committed with the lies. They dont care, there`s "no punishment" if the truth comes out. Cuz they were asked to read not-true stories about them, wich its not the same as lie.

Having seen this video I am pretty certain the experimenter knew which stories were lies, and which weren't. Many of the 'microexpressions' seem to have been sought out, knowing something was a lie. Instead of finding a valid microexpression it is just pointing to something someone did while saying something he or she identified as being a lie.
Take Marlene. You identify what seems like random blinking, as a microexpression. While after her last story she shows a microexpression with her lips.

Some of the indicators said are really not that relevant. A broader smile can indicate a more happy experience. Eye blinking can indicate a memory recalled but not stated.

blinking can be caused by irritation in the eyes
Gerome63120m3 2 years ago
If there is irritation in the eye, you can simply follow with a question of "Are your eyes ok?" When they answer the question you can detect if its a lie. Also, if they eye is irritated, the person would be fidgeting with it often.

I agree with Masterwid, microexpressions are most definitely NOT different from people to people. In fact microexpressions are UNIVERSAL. However, different microexpressions refer to different emotions, which explains the differences. And about Lie to me, it IS a great show but reading Paul Ekman's books "Unmasking the Face" or "Telling Lies" is really more eye opening (Ekman is the model Cal Lightman is based on).

kcderik 2 years ago
Also to really be able to spot lies you can't rely on specific gestures, you need to quickly evaluate that person's personality.
i.e. If the guy doesn't make eye contact all the time it doesn't mean he is a lier, it means he is introverted.
Also if there is nothing really stressful on lying something (like expecting punishment), there won't be enough stress to spot. Also if a lie is rehearsed, the more you practice the less signs will be shown (the more self-confident you become).
quelorepario 2 years ago
if someone does a microexpression like disgust, anger, sadness at the end of a statement its almost a lie for sure. Again, unless they are talking about something that will tick em off, digust them or sadden them.
I agree on the stress.
Rehearsed lies are the easiest to crack. the persons body language will shift into 'alpha mode' because he knows he rehearsed for it so he thinks he is superior to you. another possibility is contempt towards you because he thinks he outhinked you.
gredfallen 2 years ago
gredfallen, actually there aren't any "sure" signs of lying. Not because someone flashes a "microexpression of sadness, disgust, anger at the end of a statement" means he is lying. The only thing sure is that he might be holding back some emotions. THE ONLY TIME that a microexpression MIGHT suggest a lie is when the statement and the emotion is contradicting, like: I am really happy (and a sadness microexpression).
quelorepario 2 years ago
gredfallen, the key of detecting lying is determining the baseline behavior.
Any shift or change from that baseline deserves to be investigated further.
Also microexpresions by itself has to be supported by the observation of emblems and manipulators.
quelorepario 2 years ago
I understand what you mean, thank you for that clarification. You sound like you really know what you are talking about, are you a professional in the field? And when you say a shift in the behavior, do you mean an unreasonable response, contrary emblems or manipulators... what do you mean by that?
gredfallen 2 years ago
I actually meant to say illustrators and manipulators. You know, there are basically three ways of "moving" our hands and arms. If someone touches their fingers, arms or hands, or any part of their body or anything without any real purpose it is called a "manipulator". If you are talking about how beautiful and big was the mountain you saw while moving your arms to exemplify the shape of it, it is called an "Illustrator".
quelorepario 2 years ago
If you are doing a gesture with a specific meaning, like an Italian doing the "What the fuck" italian gesture with their hand that can be misunderstood in India (it is understood as eating) which means that it has a very specific, culturally dependent meaning, is called an "emblem".
By rule of thumb if there is an increase of manipulators and a decrease of illustrators, it can indicate lying.
quelorepario 2 years ago
The logic behind this is because manipulators arises when there is stress and tension, while also your hands naturally can't "illustrate" what never was experienced (unless you train yourself to force yourself to illustrate, or have a very vivid imagination)
The emblems can reveal what you really feel through the "emblematic slips": unconscious hand or body postures (emblems) that reveals what you are really feeling/thinking.
Of course you must be able to evaluate correctly depending on context.
quelorepario 2 years ago
btw, at 3:31 you can see an emblematic slip ;)
quelorepario 2 years ago
I did know about emblems from reading ekman's telling lies, the student flipping off the prof is an awesome example. I had heard of illustrators and manipulators as well, but didnt quite understand the difference. That is a great explination, thanks! But on the subject of manipulators now that i have a better understanding, what if someone is just hanging out, like by the water cooler for example and is rubbing his chin, but isnt talking to anyone. is this still a manipulator?
gredfallen 2 years ago
The emblem you refer to at 3:31, is it the head shake from side to side? and based solely on the video, would you draw conclusions that he did or didnt? because the head shake is contrary i mean.
gredfallen 2 years ago
One discovery that Ekman did was that the emotions expressed in the face has a feedback or it is reciprocal. I mean not only when you feel an emotion is reflected on the face, also the expression itself triggers an emotion.
Try doing his expression exactly as he does, pressing his lips and shaking his head side to side. What do you feel? Would you express yourself that something beautiful happened while doing that facial expression?
quelorepario 2 years ago
No matter where is standing or what is doing, if it is talking or not. If someone is rubbing any part of their body with anything without any specific purpose, is a manipulator. For example, if a girl is touching her hair to straighten her hair, it is not a manipulator. If she is touching her hair just for the sake of it, it is a manipulator.
If someone is rubbing the water cooler (with any part of his body) without any reason, it is a manipulator.
quelorepario 2 years ago
Hey, so since you seem to be the most knowledgeable on this subject i can get into contact with, i had a question about ekman's research. He describes a non-symetrical emotion as likely to not be true, that it is sign that someone is faking that emotion. but what about the contempt smile? where one side of the lip is pulled up due to the nostril crease. would that be considered a false emotional reaction or is it an exception?
gredfallen 2 years ago
The funny thing about asymmetrical expressions are that there were identified 9 possible expressions, and it was found that 8 of those asymmetrical expressions in depressive patients. 4 of those asymmetrical expressions are related to contempt, and those expressing contempt attempted to commit suicide.
quelorepario 2 years ago
Also answering to your question, there is a distinction between asymmetrical expression and unilateral expression. An asymmetrical expression is when there are actions in both sides of the face, but one part is slightly stronger than the other. An unilateral expression is when only one side of the face is expressing something, those kind of expressions are not emotional but emblematic, with the exception of contempt.
quelorepario 2 years ago
Now, why an asymmetrical expression might imply lie? Well, the only thing we can assume is not what the subject is saying is true or not, but that the emotion is trying to show is most likely false.
Why? Because asymmetrical expressions are voluntarily made expressions, not spontaneous. The explanation of how they realized that, is too long to be explained in youtube.

There aren't many microexpressions, actually the woman who says "I love my husband" she shows a genuine smile (real joy), but it is full a smile, not a microexpression.
All the comments that the videomaker does are not related to microexpressions.
The guy that says "I love my girlfriend" shows sadness in his forehead and he nods "no" with his head, interesting.
If you make people read statements you can't reliably tell if they are lying, since they have assurance of what they are going to say.
quelorepario 2 years ago 2
What I mean with the reading stuff, many times you can spot someone who is lying because people usually have to remember stuff that happened, accessing memories usually means truth. Detailed remembering takes some time and to break eye contact momentarily is normal. If something is rehearsed normally it is revealed very quickly without breaking eye contact, it is a potential sign of lying.
If not rehearsed it takes more time to create a story with more frequent long pauses in the middle.

a micro expression is a tenth of a second long. usually the easiest to see are in the mouth/cheek/nose area. blinking is not a micro expression, but can be a sign of nervousness. my understanding of micro expressions is that your emotional reactions happen faster then your conscious efforts to hide them, so your emotions show, then the rest of your brain trying to hide that emotion catches up and stops the facial expression. all in 1/10th of a second
