Micro expressions- We can explain. Lesson 10

 Micro-expressions express the seven universal emotions: disgust, anger, fear, sadness, happiness, contempt, and surprise.  In the 1990's Paul Ekman *(clinical psychologist) expanded his list of emotions to include a range of positive and negative emotions not all encoded in facial muscles 

Some emotions expressed as facial expressions:

happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, disgust, fear, confusion, excitement,

Micro expressions occur in everyone, often unconsciously. 

There is no way to prevent them from happening.

Learning to detect micro expressions can benefit with emotional awareness and overall safety,
