Paul Ekman

Paul Ekman is a renowned psychologist who studies facial expressions and emotions. He identified specific facial movements called "microexpressions," which are brief, involuntary displays of true feelings that often reveal a person's genuine emotions, even if they try to hide them. Ekman’s work helps in fields like law enforcement, psychology, and emotional intelligence, by improving understanding of what people are truly experiencing internally. His research emphasizes that facial expressions are universal across cultures, providing invaluable insights into human emotional communication.
