MICRO EXPRESSIONS in 4K - LIE TO ME Style Analysis - Micro Expressions Training like in Lie To Me 

For 5 minutes, I just kept thinking “what are they showing this man that pisses him off so much....?”

i got 4 engineering exams to do and i'm watching this instead of studying... pls kill me.

I literally thought that the person showing sadness looked like she was trying to stop laughing haha

This guy is amazing. It's not the usual, pop culture of observation, the kind that just panders to ego. This is legitimately educational.

Anyone else make the faces while watching this

The "contempt" is slyness when someone's hurt brings them joy.

I think instead of saying fear, contempt, anger, it is more useful to give an example, as "he is listening to someone speaking about him, he is first nervous, then is pleased with what was said." Also, a person that is darker in nature, like a malignant narcissist will confuse a shy , nervous smile for a smirk. I believe that most people can not learn microexpressions unless they take extensive...EXTENSIVE training and are able to censure their own feelings to kept the reading neutral and free of projection, or if they are a sensitive or empath. People who were abused as children, for example, had to learn to read the faces of their parents to survive, and had to be spot on accurate. Most people these days don't even know how to interpret the tone of someone's voice to convey the emotion, nor do they care enough about a person to concentrate on people's feelings. Most arguments are caused by disassociation from care.

this is what I do at 3 am in the morning

I have Synesthesia, so I see colors in my mind when I hear any sound. And when someone lies/hides emotions, the tone of the colors of their voice change. So I can sense it on phone calls also. The only drawback is that I get so fascinated by this that I put less effort in taking the right action. E.g. setting boundaries, talking smartly, being cautious.

It’s not anger every time it’s also confusion

This is actually really interesting- as someone with Autism(aspbergers) I didn't struggle much. What a lot of people with aspbergers react to is that people show certain emotions through speech, and other emotions with body language. It causes confusion and uncertainty, and from that, misscomunications. A lot of people are saying that you got the sadness one wrong; what people are seeing is two emotions- one false and one real. She's not happy. She's replicating an emotion while actually feeling another one. If you are bodily aware, it can be quite easy to do a false smile that looks real to other people. A lot of people with depression master that skill, as an example. They put a slight tension just under their eye that pushes the outer corner of the lower eyelid up. It's extremely easy once you learn what muscles to tense, it's child play, to be honest. The one thing that can give it away is a slight delay beteeen the smile, and the crinkling(?) around the eyes.

6:08 I definitely see the fear but I think it's good to note that this kinda mixes with shock. Like he's shocked to see something that is also scary.

I love the fact you used Japanese people for this study...culturally known as the least emotionally expressive people on the planet. Talk about an easy start :P

The AU 4, read as anger, can be also the "complexity" expression. It seems consistent with the surprise afterwards.

I need to know what they are watching.

narrow eyebrows i do it all the time but im not usually angry i might be a little confused.

Can't think of a better use of my time than watching this. Very interesting. Great Narrator!!!

1st example is "inquisitive" as in he's not sure what he's seeing, and then surprise...

The sadness part seems more like 'awkwardness' to me. Or a sense of superiority. The anger could be confusion as well

I suggest that in the first clip, that the first micro expression isnt anger, but its a questioning look with a touch of surprise, then he moved on to full surprise as the second micro expression. Itd help more if you could tell us what you are doing, saying, or showing this person, because that information is releveant in relation to how we analyze the looks. If u showed him something he wasnt ready to see, that was somewhat offensive but more towards the side of being societally acceptable, then its not anger its just an initial wonderment at seeing something you werent expecting and on top of that the thing u see is more intense then u were ready for. Therefore u get an expression that is similar to anger in its geometric recognition pattern, but I believe the first emotion is much closer to surprise then anger. Think of it as a preliminary expression to the full expression of surprise, being the fully raised eyebrows and slightly widened eyes

This is awesome. I am a psychology student and this video helped me a lot. Thanks and please upload more videos.

I'm not catching anger all the time you catch it. I know you're the expert, but it FEELS like you're missing "questioning"/"intrigued". The last one and one other felt more like intrigued rather than anger. I've been able to catch ppls emotions on a physic and empathy base, and I'm pretty accurate.

Absolutely love this! Perfect for practice.

I must disagree with eyebrows down as an indication of anger. This could very well be an initial reaction of shock and awe.

As a self-proclaimed "natural reader of people" and a long time AMATEUR student of micro expressions and body language, what does it mean if i got every single one right except for the ones where i got the anger half part of it wrong? 🤔 Let me offer my own explanation wether true or false based on the findings of Paul Ekman himself, who was not the first person to be credited for studying micro expressions but is widely considered to be the main pioneer of it. When you show a test subject certain images/videos and record their reaction for testing and educational purposes, there is often (but not always) an inevitable initial reaction of the test subject that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual EVENTUAL reaction which is called the 'true reaction' if i remember correctly. The two main INITIAL expressions a person will express when being subjected to these testing environments which can be false positives is almost always either surprise or focus. Focus is very close to anger. Not close enough to be indistinguishable but close none the less. Is it possible that all these dual micro expressions where 'anger' is one half of it, it's is actually focus instead, which by the defined science of it would mean that it doesn't represent the actual expression that is being portrayed but rather the initial reaction that is almost inevitable in these testing environments? This is not me being smug, it is a legitimate question coming from my previous & amateur knowledge and therefore genuine interest in micro expressions. So i genuinely would like to know any opinions, statements, expertise or any other follow ups, etc P.S. I just now remembered while writing this that i did get one other one wrong which was contempt + happiness. Which i thought was happiness + satisfaction which i was 100% wrong about on the initial guess. And all the other ones i was right about wasn't all necessarily in the right order since i didn't try to answer them in order per se. For example the one where it was contempt + sadness, i just said contempt AND sadness not distinguishing the two but rather taking both of them together as one emotional expression that camos forth from two separate ones, if that makes sense. Just thought i'd mention that for the sake of honesty EDIT: Spelling and grammar

Timestamp 9:38, the subject is swallowing. That means fear in this case. Really important also.

i am really interested in face expressions and body language. did all of them really show anger at the beginning of whatever they're watching? or could it be a sign of focusing or observing what they're watching?

Thank Dog he took the time to show & tell us that Micro Expressions in 4K is in fact in 4K!

THIS IS JUST AMAZING. BEST VIDEO FOR THIS TOPIC!

Can you do one where people find positive attractions for one another?

your voice is so soft and mesmerizing :")

This is fascinating stuff here. I'm have a few questions for you. Are these emotional cues that you're listing as micro-expressions definitive, or are they open for interpretation? I ask because in video 1, I see a progression of emotional cues in his facial expression. To me it seems to show disbelief, into anger, into subtle curiosity with what he's seen. The brow furrowing doesn't seem to shift to anger until we see it in his eyes when he realizes what he's just seen. Then there's a slight up-tilt of the right eyebrow that indicates a subtle curiosity afterwards. Please let me know if you can. Love the content!

How can you tell between confused and anger?

to be honest in every single facial expression what you said it was anger to me it was just something you do with your eyebrows when you don't know what's happening for a brief moment. like when you watch a video and something unexpected and unclear happens and you ask yourself what happened, and one instant later when you realize what happened you display an emotion like anger, happiness etc. i do the eyebrows movement very often when i'm confused for a split moment but that doesn't mean i'm angry.

The contempt one is super hard, when one side of lip end is raised / asymmetrical, it's sooo small and happens really fast. Even with the slow mo and zoom i had to re-watch many times to spot it fast enough

I always manage to spot fear and contempt, but none of the others.

In video 7 (11:46) it definitely looked like there was contempt as well. The left side (my right) of her mouth raised more than the other and to me was more obvious than the disgust expression.

I almost got all of them correct! Somehow Im a little proud of myself, finally😂😂😂

honestly thought the first one was confusion then shocked but nope it was anger. I'm bad at reading facial expressions already 😂

He missed contempt on the last example for some reason. Also, I'm not convinced these were all interpreted appropriately. Ara Celli and Emmanuel M were probably correct about the lady who may have been stifling laughter around 11:00. Like any form of body language, context is very important.

How to be Patrick Jane *lmao*

The first guy: confusion -> surprise. Which makes more sense than: anger -> surprise

02:35 what you see here is the expression of "WTF". notice the eyebrows narrow, the upper eyelid rises, and there you can clearly see it. the moment of "WTF".

This is interesting, I'm new to the concept and have no clue what I'm looking at

I always lift my eyebrows in ever social situation since it makes me look more attractive.

When eyebrows move downwards, is that sometimes a sign of confusion rather than disgust? How do you differentiate between the two?

Fantastic work, thank you !

I have superpowers now! I can read people's minds!

omg... i got them all right... i think i watched Lie to Me too many times

I'd like to note that some people ... sociopaths... Can be so emotionless Sometimes or totally feign micro expressions so easily... and then there are people that are neurodiverse... And sometimes our facial expressions or micro expressions don't really match how we feel ... they might be the exact opposite of what we're feeling.

I'm genuinely bad in reading emotions, this was interesting to observe.

I would love to know what it is they are observing, so we can see what causes a reaction of anger and fear. Or contempt and happiness. What occasions would you see these emotions together.

Thank you so much for making this video. Super helpful

To me the First one looks like he is confused first and then surprised

First one I guess was confusion then surprise. Confusion and anger look similar to me

Lol me learning idk how to make the contempt face... pretty fitting lol. I usually think of myself as lower than others

Yes yes and yes ! This is what I've been looking for ! You've earned yourself a subscriber !

I take 21 selfies before uploading it, just to find the single photo with correct emotion of the mood; not overly bland and creepy.

ah thanks for telling me that contempt is also a positive feeling cuz i do it sometimes...

Hi Patryk, Great video and explanations. Thank you for sharing. I like the fact that people in the video are not caucasian, meaning it makes a bit harder to spot micro expressions, but once you learn how to do it you can detect micro expressions on anyone...:)

Excellent videos

In video 7, There was also a flash of happiness which was missed. Both the lip corners were twisted up for a split second. Anyone agree?

This is very helpfull, thank you!

Thanks yo! I am going to be acting these to complicate people

i guessed almost all of these correctly first try, i have lie to me to thank 😂

úžasné video ;) moc děkuji :) jsem samouk a toto video je skvělí materiál ;)

Great video! Though, I don't quite understand the following interpretations: 1:07 (Video 1): Could the anger-part also be something like "critical observation"? Tbh I see this more than anger. A lot of people/thinkers look angry while thinking critically, which does not mean that they are angry. 10:45 (2nd Video 6): I don't see sadness, but rather a "supressed laugh". There seems to be a veery subtle hidden smile. Am I misinterpreting and if yes why ?

yeah, lie to me in the beginning! max resolution 1440p! and yes, i got a 4k 144hz monitor and rig with no problem of high res content!

Thank you so much sir for providing this type of videos 🤗i want More videos please 🙏 upload some more videos

Wow I learned something new and truly fantastic today 🤩😍

Fascinating❤

Most people do this all the time, but they don't do it consciously, when you have a hunch someone is lying, it's usually because subconsciously you have worked out their microexpressions without knowing you are doing it.

Very useful 👍.. thankyou so much

absolutely amazing video. Awesome, awesome stuff

With 4k U can see bacteria having a party! LOL

I really enjoyed that, after seeing a few I was able to spot within real , thats cool. Thanks.

Very good video sir

Love these videos. Thank you.

Instead of anger and surprise I saw in the first one a situation like: „uh, wait, what? Ah okay“… Like confusion and understanding

woooooooooooooooooooowww beautiful!!! I love it! thank you so much i was searching for something like that

this is very helpful. Hopefully I will now seem more "human"

I will also test it

Very Interesting

I'm not sure because I'm not a expert but I think in video 7 she also showed contempt, besides anger, surprise and disgust

Thank you!

Awesome video thanks for the upload

dont know about you but I kinda know this by intuition. I dont even need to think about it

Patryk, This is a great educational video but these should be called as the Compound Micro-Expressions (CMEX) or Compound Subtle-Expressions (CSEX).

4k me that was enlightening

Woohhh!!!! That's incredible!!! :Di love it!

Don´t you have to consider both eyes and mouth at the same time ? If you look only at the eyes how can you distinguish between fear and surprise or happyness and surprise ?

Video 6 was a bit confusing, not sure if the expression was staged but some part of her was happy/smiling, I guess ready to perform the task, and the mouth part presented sadness...but overall she wasn't sad...

You are my hero

God I’m fucking good at this. No seriously 8 years studying micro expressions and body language. Love this

I wish we could see what they were watching to confirm these predictions or interpretations were/are correct!

Is it just my phone or is this videos highest quality 720p?

Cześć Patryk, świetne filmy, pozdrawiam!!! :D

My girlfriend drew her eyebrows on quite high. When I told her she seemed surprised! 🤣

As an example, whats the interpretation of anger with suprise, whats does it mean? Is the person still angry or does it chance the emotion with the suprise?

The woman on the second part of the video. It feels like she always looks at you with contempt 😅 P. S. Thank you for the lesson, doctor Lightman 😅
