Communication

What is the Facial Action Coding System?

The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) is a globally recognised tool used to measure and analyse the full range of human facial expressions. Developed in the 1970s by psychologists Paul Ekman and Wallace V. Friesen, FACS provides a detailed framework for understanding how facial muscles contribute to the display of emotions.

Your Hands Do the Talking: How Gestures Influence Communication

Symbolic gestures or emblems are often used to facilitate social transactions and they can play a key role in human communication. Sometimes these can be without words and are often made with the hands. But gestures come from elsewhere too, such as shaking the head, which in many Western cultures means “no”, or raising the […]

How long does it take to become a lie detector?

It’s Monday morning and you open up a ‘Zoom’ virtual video chat with a work colleague with a smile on your face, gently enquiring, “Good morning, how are you?”. Your colleague snaps back, “I AM… FINE!!”, using a loud tone that has an edge to it. Unless this is normal (baseline) behaviour for this person […]

Artificial Intelligence and human behaviour

Many advertisers, tech giants, and border forces are using varying types of software in an attempt to monitor our emotions or detect whether we are being dishonest.
