Ever since I saw a few episodes of Lie to Me, I've wanted to do a post on micro expressions. I just hadn't got round to it until I found a fun little test.
First, what is a micro expression:
Micro expressions are very brief facial expressions, lasting between 1/25th and 1/15th of a second. They occur when a person either deliberately or unconsciously conceals an emotion being felt.
The premise of Lie to Me is the main character's ability to detect these micro expressions & thus determine if someone is lying. In real life we all do it, that is have the expressions and read them, however we frequently do both unconsciously. Ever met someone and after a brief conversation decided you don't feel comfortable with them, but you don't know why. It could be that you unconsciously read a micro expression.
The link below will take you too a quick test. There are images of people, there expressions will change very briefly - can you tell how they're feeling. Press the emotion buttons & find out if you're right.
