So this was the genesis... excellent! I was suspicious of the "crossed arms/ crossed legs/ frowny-faced" thing all my life -- and when I was diagnosed with Asperger's in my 50s I found out why. The Behavior Panel has painted a much clearer picture for me over the last couple of years what behavior can denote, and since Asperger's is a syndrome marked by the inability to read non-verbal cues, y'all have given me some well-made tools to put into my toolbox. Thanks, and let's keep trying for a little bit of a better world every day!
One of the best TED talks ever. This is what we look for in TED... Science, innovation and heart, all in one. A very helpful talk that debunks some junk science. And great credentials on this guy; how does one make a job like this happen? What a wonderful way to learn something in 16 minutes. Thank you.
So excellent! You delivered the truth with great comedy and that is what makes it stick! Fantastic, love how you speak and command an audience Scott! I have been a member of The Behavior Panel for 2 years and purchased your book Understanding Body Language. You and your guys are a major part of my week now, and I look forward to seeing each video you make! Keep up the good work!
So true. My happiest moments are head in chin, frown, looking as far away from now that I can get and silent. Then comes the Oh Andy what's wrong??? Nothing until right this minute.
it took me a while to get over the microphone on his face, I kept getting distracted by what I thought was a huge pimple, he's talking and All Im thinking is why doesn't he get rid of that thing, great talk tho
Hey! How do you think I felt? For me it was weird and hilarious and "Are you kidding me?" at the same time. I think they've got that figured out now though.
Great talk. We live in a very twisted world where people will use peudo-science understanding of body language to wrongly judge others... And not just about everyday things but also about very serious things. And even things like putting an innocent person in jail because they have anxiety and nervousness (eg lie detector pseudo-science) for example. This is a case where people would be better off knowing nothing than knowing false things that give them a false sense that they know stuff when it would be better to just admit you know what if someone looks up and left I can't assume that means anything.
Nice talk. We learned in film school that a facial expression out of context could be deceptive and incorrect. That narly hateful face could be a difficult bowel movement. Or a smile could be a reaction so some awful circumstance.
Loved the video, loved the humour, loved the MESSAGE! I've read quite a few books on body language/tells and very rarely does it get mentioned about the importance of context. Thanks for sharing this Scott and trying to teach us. P.s Was that a bit of emotion there when you closed? 😉 (sweet)
I am in a unique position to already know all of this while having indirect live access to physiological data from the people I am in close contact with. It helps me determine what people are thinking, their future actions and more. I can't get the information from video (I didn't guess the first girl wasn't really smiling) but the data is still highly reliable even without it I fair well looking at determining what a person is feeling through video. Ultimately though in video good acting suspends disbelief where hiding your emotions is not possible in person.
i am diagnosed with aspergers syndrome not only i can not read any non verbal stuff also don't understand para language at all ---i only like to say i don't dig people and pitty people who study body language for the sake of manipulating others and for success sake --- only honesty and courage will take us wher we want go the rest is a waste of time
I really enjoyed this, as is accurate and true. I would expect from a man of observational science to know that Frankenstein is the name of the doctor and not of the monster
megatronVS you are right but this happened afterwards, in the original novel the name of the creature was Adam,or creature or the thing etc. the name of the creature being Frankenstein came at a theatrical adaptation nearly 10 years after the first novel. you can check all those up :)
Mr Rouse, learned so much from you and the panel this past year. Definitely has changed my perspective and how I react, respond and SEE people. It has helped me develop better relationships and interactions daily. Thank you!
Is this one big joke? Is it a form of manipulation? Is there any science (like...real science) behind these theories which have MANY more factors involved than this man is touching on. I usually don't have trouble seeing black and white...but theres like all sorts of technicolor's surrounding this presentation. Was the objective to confuse? Kudos it worked! :)
One of the problems with useing charts is its a still frame picture with headlines leaving a whole world of room for error in judgement on what the chart or graph could represent as well as it only means that in the time the statistic was taken and people often use a chart or graph 📊 🙄 like it's pointing directly at the problem. Simple thing is blame someone by pointing at it and you've got 3 fingers pointed back at you. It's unbecoming to harp on someone and publicly point out they're flaws anyhow... pretty simple fix is "if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all". Along with "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me." I believe in comparison to our elders and they're elders before them that we are culturally weak and going towards a collapse however I also suspect it has a great deal to do with the majority of the masses. You can't say it's mainstream media anymore and you can't say it's due to the social media platforms or the people that own them yet something needs done about it and everyone is responsible and needs to shut up listen twice think about what they say get some actual proof that they're information works before they shoot it out there I'm guilty of it as well. Lately I'll spend thousands of hours researching to find the biggest cores to truth I can find not knowing what's true or false. So I gather up information on the same subject from minimally 3 different sources find the parts that match in all 3 and consider that to be the truth. Because only way to tell if something is absolutely true is first hand information and I'm unable to time travel or teleport therfore the best way other than first hand is finding where all the stories match up. Even then it's not guaranteed to be truth but its more often than not the truth or as close as you can get to it. Best you can do when in some instances the information you want has been translated 10 times then transcribed a few times to keep up with the ongoing modern age evolution. After all that maybe 50% of the information is accurate anymore. Just like playing the telephone game where you get 12 people together in a line the 1st repeats a phrase to the person next to him/her and by the time it gets to the last person you have something very distorted. Same thing happens to our minds and the memories we have try to recall a complete memory word for word action for action that you haven't thought about in 10 years... better yet a shared memory and have the person(s) you shared it with try to recall exactly 💯 the same thing. Im willing to bet you'll all have different recalls of the memory.
Honestly I don't think science has but barely scratched the surface on what is and isn't capable. My thoughts on it is science is cause and effect same as every thing but science is and always will be limited compared with true power and true power is infinite and in all of us.
Take also culture into account. I'm from southern Spain and we are more expressive and warmer. Our folks music, flamenco, is full with hands that looks like they are about to go flying and resting your hands on your hips is the beginning of folk dance from Seville. I cross my arms usually because I'm resting and relaxing, maybe resting my back on a wall or I have no pockets and I don't know what to do with my hands...I can be a little hyper or anxious sometimes. I also straight up my back resting my hands on my hips.
Hang on, I did not know Scott Rouse started producing music in 1979. I gotta get him to help me record my audiobook. I keep getting all kinds of weird noises showing up in them --they sound like a guirro or something. I think they're an electronic effect from my plug-ins --that's not supposed to happen yet does anyway. Either that or I have literal ghosts in the machine. Best! :)

i only lie to people that lie to me .most people that know me think i don't talk very much .that's because i don't lie to people i love .i don't make eye to eye contact because i don't want to .there my eyes and i will do what i want with them . a lot of people think that i'm lying my ass off when i tell them stories about shit i did .i didn't .but i can understand why they think i'm lying because by the time i was 35 i had done some of the most odd things that anyone might think of .like expert infantry to 74-78 flying in many kinds of helicopters c-130s having f-4s fly by so close you could throw a rock and hit the pilot beach landing in landing craft on coronado island like saving pvt ryan as a marine cadet in the sixth grade i fired the 50 cal machine gun certified timber cruiser certified wildland firefighter off forest fire montana taking up slack by doing a wilderness patrol planting trees 1,000s 1,000s of miles on motorcycles .see why people think i'm lying .usually when i'm talking i'm not looking at you and i look down and to the left .but i ain't bull shiting you .i was a fuel tinder for a helicopter for a week on a fire so a friend of a friend could get some time with the family .here's where you're going to really think i'm lying right. i got a ride home on the helicopter and we flew over my house on the way home i wasn't employed by any of them .see what i mean. i have 20,000 miles on my 2011 kawasaki 900 cruiser classic lt and a deer hit me i all but walked away with a broken leg but it was a leg that was already mess up that was 5-3-15. i went backpacking and hunt in the wilderness 10-5-15 .i'm 60 years old and that not near all .i'm lying right be blessed
I got gramarly it good but in American English so When you write in English Language you still have grammar mistake if you do not watch it as it will correct English from England such as specialised it will be specialized
The problem is when you have bad looking teeth, you can't smile freely... ...and to cut to the core : "How do you kill your body language Frankenstein" 15:25
My biggest trick to read people and how they feel about someone is to spontaneously snap a picture of them and see who they caress or turn away from in the instant they realize they're about to be captured in an image.
yeah - his dramatic differences in smiles... Try telling somebody something funny and not smile. That's when I turned this off. "Oh you can see the dramatic difference." and I think he believes that.
All that came to mind is that he is right people aren't always good at understanding body language but i agree with you there are too many factors to say something like what he did
Mark Morash You missed his conclusion. His main point was that people should stop worrying about other people's body language because there is no absolute feature that represents an emotion for all people
It's a dramatic difference to him because that is his field of expertise. Ifvyou'd listened to the whole talk his message was 'listen with your ears, your eyes, your gut and your heart'.....in other words, as a real human being responds to a real human being.
*Sight* At first I thought there was some more insight here, but no.... ... the rationalizations of the value of such observations was just translated to another point of failure... .. then again, small steps...
Where did the 87% statistic come from? I suspect this is just a large number you pulled out of the air to make a point. But, I could be wrong about that, of course.
