Microexpressions

Soft Skills and Communication

Microexpressions are brief, involuntary facial expressions that reveal a person's true emotions, often lasting less than half a second and difficult to consciously suppress. They are studied by psychologists, law enforcement professionals, and negotiators to detect concealed emotions or deception, building on research popularized by psychologist Paul Ekman. Training in reading microexpressions is used in fields like security screening, therapy, and interpersonal communication.
