Paul Ekman studied people in a “Stone Age” area using research. And noticed their faces expressed same emotions “micro expressions” than that of modern society. Simply brilliant.
This is one of the most fascinating interviews I think I've ever seen! Dr Paul Ekman is an amazing man and believe me, I am NOT prone to hero worship (particularly of Americans)... (sorry)!
Tom J gI can read a person's medical problems or something that is bothering him especially if he puts his head down. Did this with ambulance workers a few times.
The OK sign and giving someone the finger comes from archery (Plucking Yew) shoot off an arrow (apo is Geek for away) giving them an arrow that has feathers and is called the bird. The proper response is to cut off the middle finger or the thumb and index finger therefore the sings of OK and the middle finger. The English longbow was made from the yew tree.
I enjoyed the series "lie to me" a friend of mine gave me telling it would be a good challenge for me to read and know how the person was a expert in picking lies... I used to call myself a "human lie detector", one lie and I'll snap and tear the person in front of me... It's also about tone of the person... No wonder none lie to me in my family or friends to avoid me snapping frequently.... Only dad knew my habit of watching criminal series to studying cases and solving before the series ended... I would do it playfully and he'd sit by my side and I'd show him how the actor indirectly knew his role to play and that's how I got to solve the case... It was fun for me to multitask and look at the actors expression and tone to their script given, then their body language to their own team of co-actors and finally within that 45 minute you get to see the actors getting into his character to solving the issue... Too many parameters to study and solve within the 45 minutes... But I loved doing it all the time... Gave my brain some work to solve puzzles, which is my expertise... I love puzzles... Yes! It was not easy to solve the episode in lie to me because that many parameters was not there... And it's not easy to give that many parameters into the series... But a general knowledge.. That many parameters. Then people need not do a degree, they can easily watch the series... So I understand the less parametric into it... Loved your work!!
@@Hereforthecomments1 Thirst for knowledge was the first step for me... But where to start? In a world that constantly tells you are not good, with so many narcissist trying to pull you down... I started reading as early as 11 years of age with books of saints, I looked into cues of what my soul wanted me to be like capturing the best practises, virtues and values... In my late teens, when the publishers stopped sending books on saints to my home; I got further into self help books when my dad took me to Pauline book store and I went crazy, he had to force me out with emotional drama... My first book was most of the series if Normal Vincent Peale... I was surprised how badly people have tried to make me feel around me (which they were wrong about) when I saw how most of his writings matched my mind frame... It was this that made me get into a quest of knowing myself more... I was in a constant battle with what the world told me and what I believed in myself, reading books to explore in inner self helped me grow in confidence... It finally came to a point when I would unconsciously sing St. Francis if Assisi prayer because I liked it and felt I was that way... But did not know why... Then I got the book of "7 habits of highly effective people" ... The sentence from the song matched with his writing "understand if you wish to be understood".... I grew more efficient in understanding, I literally followed every word from that song (Make me a channel of your peace); until lately I've refined that not all deserve peace, hope, charity, etc., in this world.... I got myself upgrades to books of Daniel Goleman after I had been for a week's counseling course in "emotional quotient"... Did some self tests online a d found I had one if the highest EQ possible... I read almost all of his books that was available in the book store... It was thro' his works in the book if "destructive emotion" I found Paul Ekman was his best friend and co-worker.. And later found that the series I saw was his work... I think most people waste time being curious of other's lives, wanting to someone else... I just FOCUSed in finding my own true self and improving in it... This is just the introduction on my curiosity to being myself... How I became an expert? I could write volumes... But it may go out of focus and sound like exaggerations... People often misunderstand when I share my experiences as attention seeking; what they do not understand that it comes from point of a suggestion from a "wounded healer"... Which makes me an expert in counseling those like me, to help them have a different perspective of life... You question is vast... If you can be more specific, I'd love to explain, if and only if you wish to work on yourself... Lately I have trust issues due to the fact that I've been in a worse situation that I'm stuck with narcissist and psychopaths who wish to experiment on me and trying to damage the little good I've built myself with.... Making every positive mind frame or wants, converting them to negative aspect for me, wanting to destroy my real identity and make me like them... If I sense that in the tone of your writing, you may not hear from me... Yes! Even the choice of words can form a "tone" in writing skills... I can understand people and help them online....
@@afmario790 oh wow thanks so much for a meaningful response! I will definitely look into those gentleman you mentioned. I’ve been heavily into psychology an how the brain functions for a while even tho Im still under 25. But I just finished the untethered soul an im currently on my self help an mental improvement journey now so your words definitely encouraged me to keep it going! But to be more specific I would say im fair but getting better an reading body language an facial expressions but im very curious on the emotions side an how to match them correctly with my assumptions on their non verbal communication. Basically why people are trying to cover it up an when, an your comment is something that sparked my interest because I’m currently watching lie to me an I really enjoy that.
@@Hereforthecomments1 : Your are most welcome. The above (1st) comment on criminal series were all about CSI (NY, LA, Las Vegas) and NCIS.. I'm not an expert in psychology... It so happened that I had to share my dad's computer for my internet before 2016 and he had, by accident left a document downloaded on his desktop about narcissist and Stockholm syndrome... This is when my research started on psychology... The same friend had other friends to share series and movies, which he constantly brought in his hard drive and transferred into my drive... One such was "criminal minds" I would watch this series and side by side research on new terminology used in the series and trace back to events in my life to know more of people or situation, the same as I do when reading books... I don't like audoibooks for this reason, I do a slow reading analyzing every sentence, to me or those around me, to know me and my environment more... I just got too interested in criminal psychology since then... Once again this series can be an overall view of criminal psychology and not in-depth... But I can relate to some of them based on my present experience with a few psychopaths... Basically they lack emotions and can still pretend to be someone like an empath (mix of covert narc and psycho)... I'm lately looking into the term of "dark triad"... The type of tortures and other things I got to risk gave me a few cues to these people especially... It's considered one of the worst in psychology... But at this moment my intuition and research shows me of 3 different females possessing such traits and they have this combo... I'm yet to find those details through my research... If you are an expert in psychology then you know these 3 traits that form the dark triad, unless you have no major in criminal psychology... I have loads of psychology materials downloaded for my reads, like I said, I like books than ebooks or PDF files... "KNOWLEDGE IS TREASURE" after all... My thirst for knowledge is vast, unfortunately I don't have time or circumstances to allow me to do so.... I only have real life events for the moment or of those I may have encountered in life for my knowledge as in psychology, to even counsel people...
@@afmario790 thank you again for such a good response! I’m trying to do the same thing you did with bringing the Shows terminology an actions to real life I just got a notebook to take notes if it all. An yes the Triad I recently learned about this in a book called “how to analyze people with dark psychology” an it’s very interesting I will look into all the things you listed above an continue my journey with it! Thank you so much for taking the time!
Could this tool that Dr. Ekman created be translated into software to instantly read emotions? This implications of reading emotions at the nanosecond rate are widespread.
+Randy Peters (Portrait Artist) I believe there are multiple software that were developed to automatically detect facial expression already, however, the role of human analyst is still crucial in assessing the validity of those expression. There is actually one newly developed program that can detect facial expression in real life condition (fast pace, moving, a lot of different targets...) but I cannot recall the name of it. Good luck researching on it tho, this topic is very interesting!
At least in my ignorance I Guess so think of some of the software alreddy out there thats ment to teach you the micro expretions could at least theoreticly be set up like a "face GPS" kalkulator... but I personally think that mashines are "unreliable" or rather that it would be easier for us "humans" to Accept beeing "judged" by another of the same species... a computer would be another species it think by that Logic. but what do I know I am a nobody With no job or education but those are my thoughts on Your question
He did not initially believe there was an universal facial expression signaling contempt, even across cultures; but he had to admit that there was one.
"I thought contempt would be, but it turned out not." He's saying he hasn't been able to find a culture-specific emotional expression; that he thought "contempt" might be a culture-specific emotional expression, but it's actually not.
+Alberto Barreira In youtube videos where nobody has manually input subtitles, it tries to automatically generate them via audio. I find it isn't a great program to begin with, and as you can imagine depending on the quality of the audio and the diction of the speaker, it can have wildly inaccurate results.

Old interview, still so much value. Thanks for sharing :) xxxx
Wow! How many micro expressions from 2:24 - 2:28.
This is one of the most fascinating interviews I think I've ever seen! Dr Paul Ekman is an amazing man and believe me, I am NOT prone to hero worship (particularly of Americans)... (sorry)!
Why is that?
m i the only one that looked this up after watching the tv show "lie to me"? lok
guilty
same hehe
That's also my reason but what started as a curiosity has now become serious research and practice 😅
Nope I feel anybody who was deep n that show research h it
Anybody else watching the interviewer and trying to read him?
Tom J He looks a bit like the actor who was in Green Acres. What is his name? He had a German name too. Was also in a Disney film.
Tom J gI can read a person's medical problems or something that is bothering him especially if he puts his head down. Did this with ambulance workers a few times.
Anybody else seeing and hearing Harrison Ford but Paul Ekman's words are coming out? Just sayin...
I wonder if Paul Ekman could've solved the Jonbenet Ramsey case?
Never seen someone sit as still as Paul Ekman during that intro. Didn't realise the camera was rolling until he blinked.

I was sent here after watching a L. A Noire clip
Cops should study this subject. They need to know whether a person is likely to attack so they won't get harmed.
Sir, i am an mbbs student.I am going to take psychiatry as my main subject.Can i study psychology after that?
Guys, did any of you got the name of the French Neurologist? Was him.. Duchenne de Boulogne?

There is cultural expressions and reptile expressions. Always speak to the lizard.
Did anyone catch what he said about contempt around 22:40? It sounded like he didn't think something about contempt...
He did not initially believe there was an universal facial expression signaling contempt, even across cultures; but he had to admit that there was one.
+Saverio (Coursera) Thank you! I was replaying, and had a difficult time deciphering what he said.
agreed I did also
Thank you.
"I thought contempt would be, but it turned out not."
He's saying he hasn't been able to find a culture-specific emotional expression; that he thought "contempt" might be a culture-specific emotional expression, but it's actually not.
1:54 is sad or anger is real hard to see but i think is anger because is lips is pressing and eye brows es a little compress right? xD
prntscr.com/n7psvl disgust catch haha

Interesting
anyone know the name of the book or article he talks about in the beginning ?
The book is "Emotions revealed".
