William Condor

Mikrovyrazheniya In the 60s of the 20th century psychologist William Condor began to explore the small facial expressions of less than one quarter of a second. He believed that such studies can tell a lot about the hidden feelings. Facial expressions, called mikrovyrazheniyami, so fleeting that people are not even aware of their existence. By studying microfilm duration of 4 seconds and examining it frame by frame, Condor found that these small movements and mikrovyrazheniya can tell a lot about the true state of man. This led to the following research in the field of psychology, in particular imperceptible expressions, again by study videotapes. William Condor wanted to know what people actually hide, putting aside the study of body language and facial expressions long. Also, a lot could reveal the contents and dialogue.

By itself the idea that body language can transmit hidden information is not new. Expression of your face if you proposed to do something you really do not want, you can show your true feelings. But many people able to control the expression of the essential "gesture of the body," especially gestures and facial expressions long. We may smile, but actually do not feel appropriate feelings, or we can refrain from twitching his shoulders, when we enter into someone's messy house. Mikrovyrazheny idea suggests that we can also give a smile or a little to pull the shoulder, but at a fraction of a second. Some people are very good capture and understand these expressions.

Psychologist Paul Ekman, who is a consultant for the new series Lie to me, believes that individuals have the gift of understanding mikrovyrazheny, while others do not even notice. But he also believes that anyone can learn to notice and to determine the value mikrovyrazheny. When mikrovyrazheny understanding can be helpful? Therapist, for example, the ability to read hidden emotions will help in its work. People often hide feelings behind the words. Some mikrovyrazheniya help detect lies. This can be useful when applying for a job in the game of poker, where you can specify that your opponents are bluffing.
