Ekman's Faces

Ekman's Faces refer to a set of facial expressions identified by psychologist Paul Ekman as universal indicators of specific emotions, such as happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise. These expressions are consistent across different cultures, suggesting they are biologically rooted. Ekman’s research involves studying these facial cues to better understand human emotional communication, which can aid in areas like psychology, law enforcement, and intercultural understanding. In essence, Ekman’s Faces are a way to recognize and interpret others' emotional states through their facial expressions.
