Ekman Team

The Ekman Team is a concept in psychology, developed by researcher Paul Ekman, focusing on how people express and interpret emotions through facial expressions and body language. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing subtle cues to understand genuine feelings, especially in high-stakes situations like law enforcement or diplomacy. The team often trains individuals to detect microexpressions—brief, involuntary facial movements that reveal true emotions. Overall, the Ekman Team aims to improve emotional awareness and communication by providing tools to better read others’ authentic reactions, fostering trust and more effective interactions.
