i'm going to move soon

2010-12-27T20:35:00.001+02:00

I've been working on an image board for some while. The address is http://theipo.org. I'm going to move all or most of the posts there. There's going to be a special thread for this topic: http://theipo.org/t/psychology/

I found a extrordinary forum

a short tutorial

2010-04-08T23:51:00.004+03:00

I found a short tutorial for facial expressions.

no... i'm not dead... i'm just very busy

2010-03-14T21:46:00.001+02:00

no... i'm not dead... i'm just very busy... also i need to review my knowledge a little bit. It's crucial if you want to learn to read expression to practice. Either by viewing videos like i do or just walking around and watch people as they walk by.

It's about time to give you reference to the books that i used to learn:

- Facial Action Coding System (FACS CD) <-- A must for Micro expression Training
- Emotions Revealed <-- PDF of Dr. Paul Ekman's book
- Unmasking the Face <-- Also a PDF of Dr. Paul Ekman's book
- Telling Lies <-- Also a PDF of Dr. Paul Ekman's book
- Frogs Into Princes: Neuro Linguistic Programming <-- A PDF of a book by Richard BandlerAlso8.

The Truth About Liars <-- (A documentary about how and why people lie) - hope you have good Internet connection.

wiki how to detect lies

2010-03-09T21:07:00.003+02:00

I found a very nice article on how to detect lies. I will eventually get to making my own article about this... unfortunately I'm very busy at the moment so you'll have to wait.

About lady gaga emotions and feelings

2010-03-03T21:14:00.008+02:00

It's a good time for me :) i've got a lot to do.... people ar starting to ask for my help and i have enough time and good will to help them

A friend asked me to do a analysis on lady gaga. To be more precise she wanted me to see if she was lying when she said that she had a harbl.

The part that we are interested in starts around 00:06:00 .

1) 00:06:17 / there a lot of thinks happening before this moment but this is very important because it's her reaction regarding the important question(are you a man?). It's a mix expression. It's obviously a fake smile, she is masking disgust. Also it's important to notice that she is holding something between herself and Jonathan. It's a interview and we have to remember that she probably knew what she was going to be asked. And it's clear it's something she is not comfortable about. Maybe that's the reason why she look a little off. /

2) 00:06:28 / again her face show disgust. her lower lips is pushed up. /

I can't tell you if she is lying or telling the truth but i can tell you that she is deeply disgusted by the idea and she is trying to mask for feelings.

I actually can't find any more emotions on her. I have 3 interviews:

1) the first is the above and beside the part that i told you about there's nothing interesting. She seems that she doesn't know on what planet she's on but that is my feeling about her(so it doesn't count)

2) the second one is with an old granny and i never seen a face that doesn't show no emotion... maybe a little bit of contempt but i am not sure:
the video and the contempt:

3) a very interesting video where she is brown :) but she is very relaxed and open so no emotions there... maybe a true smile and happiness but nothing else. Here is the link

I haven't finished but i have to dig up more videos.

First request video David Miscavige Interview ( 1 of 9 )

2010-03-02T19:54:00.008+02:00

I finally got something to do :)

I've got four videos from why we protest. This is the first one... and it's divided into 9 parts. I have a lot of work to do but it's ok considering i'm doing something good with my new learned skill.

First of all we have to take into account that this is a interview. If you know something about television it's that nothing is what is seems to be. They probably discussed what the question were going to be. The interviewee had enough time to prepare appropriate answer's and if it's the case rehears and analyze his feelings about the subject. So it should be pretty hard to tell if he is lying about a particular point.

When you start talking with someone his and your body position is very important.

Every little detail in you posture, where and how your hands are, your facial expression(as you hear the other person talk), your breathing can give an observer some clue about what you are feeling.
Bought of them are keeping they're hand's crossed as a shield. It can first of all mean that they're mirroring each other. It's common plus they had a few minutes to talk about before the show began. The reporter is wiggling his big fingers meaning that he is pretty relaxed and confident. David on the other hand is listening very close and keep's his hand's still.

1) 00:00:30 / a false smile. they're two feelings mixed here. He is sad about(or disgusted) about the death of Hubard but he is trying to smile because that's appropriate /

2) 00:00:54 / contempt at the thought that there is controversy surrounding Scientology (bad or good publicity is publicity)/

3) 00:01:01 / he is looking down and to the left meaning Internal Dialog /

4) 00:01:22 / false smile and he is looking down and to the left the same as before /

5) 00:01:45 / a very important moment when we see bought of them. the reporter is very confident. he is holding his hand's in a very upright position(much like people in chard do when talking to someone inferior) while David is holding his hand close to him and very thing much like a personal shield between him and the rest of the world /

6) 00:02:04 / there are a few more expression that i skipped over but this moment is important because David after having a long dialog and remembering something funny about the source of this fact(bad thing about the church) is feeling confident and crosses his fingers. this is a very powerful gesture from someone/

7) 00:02:15 / David left hand is covering by his right hand... it's a manipulator(he is manipulating something with his hands) this is a sign that he is nervous about the fact that there are critical talking about the church/

8) 00:02:26 / it's all about the context. i shouldn't be bias but i can't help it. there isn't a clear sign that will tell you that someone is lying but his expression says it all. the reporter asked if the people are afraid and he is contempt about the people in question... in my opinion he is lying his ass of /

9) 00:02:57 / i have shown this body gesture before. i don't think that he has problem hearing what the reporter is saying, rater it is very important for him everything regarding this subject/

If you want you can point out the one's that i didn't show until the end of the video. There are a lot more facial expression and/or body movement along the video that i didn't point out because they're normal for a conversation.

about my absence

2010-03-01T21:31:00.004+02:00

I should take a minute to tell you why i haven't been that active lately. I just finished putting on my dental braces and it took me a while before i got use to them. Also i've started working on a personal project... that's going to take up some of my time from now on. I have my personal life to take care of, my job and you know just taking a nap from time to time.

My mouse broke, i don't have any money left but at least spring is here. I will probably start falling in love again.. yey :). At least now i know what to look for so i won't get hurt by a "bad girl".

It's the first of march. It's a local holiday here for all the girls.... so Happy Birthday and the best to all the girls and/or women that i know and/or don't know.

The famous Tom Cruise Interview. What is he really felling.

2010-02-24T20:40:00.008+02:00

I recently joined Anonymous and i offered my knowledge to them. This is why i started making a few videos with scientology members.
This is the famous Tom Cruise video which started the move.

* I will only show facial emotions... i will do another video with his body movement.

1) 00:01:18 / disgust in lower face - slightly contempt /

2) 00:01:34 / slight anger, maybe he is trying to conceal it /

3) 00:01:41 / conceal happiness. he is amused about something and is trying to conceal it with his hand. it's a happiness expression made with the whole face. also he is looking down and to his right which mean that he is remembering a feeling. /

4) 00:03:03 / micro expression of disgust. it's actually such a brief expresion that i can't make a gif to show you. if you want to see it start 1 second before the time and start looking for it until one second after this time. /
* there is one more at 00:02:27. the same micro expression it last only 600 microseconds.

5) 00:03:56 / contempt smile - asymmetric smile /

6) 00:04:24 / first of all that is not a smile it's actually a scorn. it's so well concealed you have to be very careful to see it. /

A few things that you have to take into consideration. First he is an actor... and a famous one although talent is something subjective. Even so he is trained to act... that means to fake emotions. And he is pretty good at it. This is probably the reason why I've seen only micro expressions. About the micro expression it's still a pretty bad video so the quality of my analysis is somewhat questionable. I would like to hear your opinion.

This is the first post i will do about this video. There is a lot of body movement and i would like to try to do a transcript analysis.... taking out all the bable and it will be interesting to see what we end up with.

Marco Rubio CPAC Address - detecting politician emotions

2010-02-19T20:35:00.002+02:00

I'm going to show you how to spot emotions on some politicians. I already analyzed a few videos with president Obama but i just found a little video with Marco Rubio

He is almost 40 so there no chance that he has permanent wrinkles that may trick us in detecting emotions.

1) 00:00:43 / contempt - his smile is only on one part - it's a very brief expression of confidence

2) 00:01:00 - 3 seconds / he is liking his lips like a viper spitting poison. this is in general a sign that he is nervous /

3) 00:01:10 / ya.... he doesn't believe a word he is saying. it's a classic manipulator. /

4) 00:01:12 / disgust, also a sign of contempt... maybe he knows that he is lying /

5) 00:01:22 - 3 seconds / he is very nervous. in course of 3 seconds he swallows a nod in his through and licks his lips twice. he is either lying or is extremely nervous for saying such things/

It's a 26 minutes videos which i will come back to after i will finish the other unfinished posts.

i would appreciate any help

2010-02-17T21:04:00.004+02:00

I'm working on a big project in my spare time so i'm going to tend to this blog mainly in the weekend. I would appreciate any help that you are willing to give me. A new mouse would be helpful to :). My mouse is dying. Anyways.. just help me out... if you have videos where you want to know what the person is feeling just send a link or post a comment on any entry that i make and i will get to it ASAP.

Scientologist Tommy Davis responds to Anonymous - detecting lies.

2010-02-10T18:58:00.004+02:00

I recently got interested about Project Chanology and i promise to start making videos about scientologist which is very cool because they're such bad lairs despite what you would think.

This is the first video i was asked to view:

and here is the result:

1) 00:00:11 / contempt - asymmetrical smile /

2) 00:00:23 / looking down and to his left - this is the direction of someone eyes as they "talk to themselves". /

3) 00:00:25 - 3 seconds / shoulder shrug - i've talked about what this means in another article /

- 00:00:30 - 3 seconds

- 00:00:50 - 4 seconds /

4) 00:01:38 / disgust - upper lip si raised /

*transcript: this thing's happen, we report them to law enforcement

- 00:01:47 /

*transcript: from our stand point we are caring on.

To be continued... sorry to leave you half way but i have something else to do tonight.

Indian Interview - body language

2010-02-09T19:39:00.003+02:00

Continuing with this video analysis of a Chinese being interview i'm doing a indian. Again i have absolutely no idea what this guy is saying but you will see the same emotions and body language as everybody else.

The video:

1) ~ 00:00:24 / he starts the interview with his hands crossed. in this case it's a comforting gesture he feels safe that way to the upcoming interview /

2) 00:00:40 / looking down and to the right meaning he is experiencing some feelings when talking. a transcript would be nice :) /

3) 00:00:45 / looking up and to the right - visual construction /

4) ~ 00:00:57 / starting being a little bit more happy and confident about what he is saying /

* a few seconds later he crosses his fingers and places them on his knees. crossed fingers represent one of the most confident body movement that i know of.

5) 00:01:22 / slight angry - the brows are lowered and drawn together; vertical lines appear between the brows; the lower lid is tense/

*it's not a full expression of anger and i'm not sure that he is really angry but he is feeling something important(it can be that the expression is of concentration)

6) 00:01:32 - 4 seconds / he takes two deep breath of air and blinks rapidly. he isn't confident or it's something very important to him/

* you can't see the first deep breath but if you look at the video it's a few seconds before this scene starts

7) 00:02:11 - 3 seconds / a very good example of micro expressions. he changes from anger to happiness in just a seconds. you have to watch very carefully to see what i'm talking about /

To Be Continued....

Social Psychology - Stanford prison experiment

2010-02-06T17:12:00.000+02:00

Because everything is more easy to understand just watching a video here is a documentary on the Standford prison experiment.

The first time i heard about this kind of experiments is at http://cracked.com 5 Psychological Experiments That Prove Humanity is Doomed.

You should start with what is Social Psychology and a few explication about the Stanford experiment.

Ted has a excellent video of Philip Zimbardo explaining what Social Psychology is about:

Everybody should know something about human psychology. How a individual acts in based upon his social surroundings. As Philip said... while killing is considered a bad think in a normal society it's consider a good think when you're killing somebody in a war.... you're even given a medal for this. Human have double standards for most thing's and for most of they're live aren't in control. I'll explain in what way where restrained by our society in a different post. For know it's sufficient that you learn how to act is situations similar to those showed in the above experiments. Please do learn from the mistakes of others and try to not to repeat them.

Mel Gibson Calls Reporter A**hole WGN-TV - You should have seen it coming

2010-02-04T21:44:00.005+02:00

You should have seen it coming. This is what i'm trying to make people learn. It's a video of Mell Gibson taking an interview and at the end he calls the reporter and a**hole. It has some clear indication that he doesn't like what he is being asked. Well you can figure it out just by simply basic deduction but it's nice to see some visual representation of an annoyed person.

This is the video:

1) 00:00:00 - 2 seconds / He slightly brings his face forward. First of all i don't think that there's a problem with his hearing(only in two occasion he does this... in the rest his hearing is fine) and neither with the equipment so this has to be a very important question or interview for him.

2) 00:00:18 - 3 seconds / He rubs his nose which is a classical calming gesture. He is reassuring himself that everything is ok. /

3) 00:00:29 / the same as 1) point... he over emphasize hearing what the interviewer is saying /

4) 00:00:40 / concealed fear expressions - you can see the smile that no problem but it's not a true smile it's hiding a fear expression. you can see the expression in the upper face. the brows are drawn together and raise, the wrinkles on the forehead are in the center. /

5) 00:00:46 / visual remember - eyes pointing on his upper left - he remembering the drinking problem /

6) 00:00:46 - 2-3 seconds / a long scorn - made by his nose - it's a gesture that you make when you don't like something.. similar to disgust /

7) 00:00:53 / he leans forward trying to be in the reported face or trying to be more to his leaved to explain very carefully that the drinking problem happened almost 5 years ago /

8) 00:01:03 - 2 seconds / he takes a coffee cup and crosses his legs; it's a clear sign that he is trying to protect himself from the reporter /

9) 00:01:10 / disgust in his lower face . the lower lip is raised and pushed up to the upper lip /

The last think that he does is drink from his coffee while the report is saying something good about Mell. It's a impolite gesture but you kind of get by know that he isn't taking very good to the inappropriate question asked by the reported. In the conclusion you should of seen it coming. celebrities

no more time

2010-02-02T21:52:00.000+02:00

Sorry.. i don't have time to post video. I can't find any that will show emotions clearly. I will probably make a stock this weekend and post for the days that i missed. I'm reading a lot of books now so a few of my time goes on those. Hopefully i will clear my schedule very soon.

Obama Nails Rep. & Cenk Debunks Rep's Lies

2010-02-02T19:10:00.002+02:00

It's a very short part of this video in which we can see some interesting emotions and body language from president Obama. I wasn't able to find all the video but i think there are enough to make a decent post.

Here is the video:

1) 00:00:12 / it's very important that he see's who is asking the question /

2) 00:00:20 - 2 seconds / he closes his eyes a little to long... he is bored :) /

3) 00:00:29 / he is looking down upon the person who is asking the question /

TRANSCRIPT* and unfortunately i believe the budget was ignored.

4) 00:00:31 / he tilt his head to one side. it's kind of like when you listen to a child saying something that you know it's a joke or something inapropiat/

5) 00:00:39 / a polite smile to "under democrat" /

6) 00:00:52 / anger showed by narrowing the lips /

TRANSCRIPT*You tripled the national dept over the next 10 years.

7) 00:00:53 / downwards left gaze of the eyes. You can understand what it means from here /

And there more but you can find them by yourself. It's very hard to find so much emotions or inner fight because they're basically payed to do this. That you The Young Turks for this nice video.

Chinese interview with Mr. Wong Yuk Man (黃毓民) in Calgary

2010-01-30T18:00:00.005+02:00

A friend gave me the idea of doing videos of Chinese people. First of all because i can't understand one word of it and it would be grate to see some emotions on a face that isn't that familiar. It's important to remember that oriental culture is very different from the western one. For example when showed a disgusting video an oriental will not show his emotions in public because it's not customary. Still it will be interesting to see what we can get from a small video.

The video in question is this one:

1) 00:00:04 / defensive stance - he isn't confident about the interview or he is just not comfortable being asked all the question /

2) 00:00:44 - 2 seconds / he gained confidence by being more open to the person who interviews him /

3) 00:00:52 - 5 seconds / he started to gesture about what he was saying /

4) 00:01:03 -2 seconds / a very particular nose pick after settings his glasses. touching your nose is a gesture intended to calm yourself but i never saw it done this way /

4) 00:01:20 / disgust or slight anger showed in the lower part of the face - this face actually means that he is says OK or agrees with someone but he is not satisfied by the situation /

I will do the rest of the video later. I'm running out of videos so i must use my limited resources as much as i can. It's not that i don't have videos but only a few of them so a lot of emotions. And for now i just want to show the emotions on people faces. For example in this video i only seen only one... the rest where body movements.

Heidi Said

2010-01-24T18:15:00.004+02:00

I really like this girl. She is always sad or angry or surprised about the world. I consider her my benchmark to compare with other people. Maybe i'm just a sucker for girls with problems. Maybe she doesn't have problems but that's the impression that she gave me.

This is her video:

and this is what i saw:

1) time 00:00:04 / sadness in the brows and the lower face /

2) time 00:00:06 / contempt - usually contempt is registered by a asymmetrical smile /

3) time 00:00:13 / disgust - raising of the chin /

4) time 00:00:51 / i can't see all her face but it look to me that it's a sad face covered up by a smile /

5) time 00:01:20 / a blend with disgust and contempt - disgust by raising of the chin and contempt from a asymmetrical smile /

I found one more contempt at 00:01:27 which i won't cut out.

Chris Matthews Predicts Brown Win part 2

2010-01-24T12:55:00.006+02:00

I'm finishing this video

It's very important when you start to detect emotions to have a baseline of how the person looks or stand normally. He may have a back problem and walk leaning forward. If in this case you see him talking with someone it's false to assume that he is interested in the person. As with the face the length or deepness of wrinkles on the face determine in some percentage what the emotions is. With age some faces tend to have more permanent wrinkles so you have to be careful with judging the expression.

It's very hard to find normal faces usually there smiling which makes most of the permanent wrinkles disappear.

and

1) time 00:03:03 / sadness in the lower eyelids , looking down and sadness mouth /

2) time 00:04:49 / happiness in the eyes and in the mouth /

3) time 00:05:28 / slight angry registered by the brown lowered and drawn togheter, vertical lines appearing between the brows and lower lip tense and raised

* The anger emotions has to register on the full face or it can mean something else. You have to take into consideration what he is saying that we see this kind of emotions.
Part of the transcript: "I don't make statements like i don't work in a emergency room if you have a conscience and are for abortions. I mean how do you make statements like that."
We can pretty safely assume that he is angry on the people who say such things.

4) time 00:06:57 / sadness the same as before with a little bit of fear in the forehead. There are horizontal lines only in the middle part.

There are a few more emotions until the end of the video. I should point to two important moments when he beats his lips twice. The first time at 00:07:13 and a second time at 00:07:22 meaning that he is probably anxious or nervous about the statements.

Shoulder Shrug - body movement - tutorial

2010-01-21T20:16:00.007+02:00

I have shown a lot of videos in which I have pointed out this subtle body movement but haven't taken the time to explain what dose it mean. The wikipedia article refers to "an exercise in weight training". For detecting lies this sign represent not knowing something.
This is the full body movement: which is a pretty common sign. You probably seen it when you ask somebody a question and he doesn't know the answer

It's a general rule in detecting lies and emotions that if something isn't done right or doesn't seem natural it's probably wrong. Although in this example if you ask somebody a question and he doesn't raise his shoulders as up as he can it doesn't necessarily mean that he isn't truthful. It can just mean that for example while he is answering he kind of remembers the answer. Or he/she isn't exactly sure about the answer but choose to answer that he/she doesn't know because they're is in a hurry.

You always have to take in account what the subject of the inquiry is and the situation. This is a word of warning regarding all of the future tutorials. You shouldn't assume anything base upon one or two observation. You should take into consideration a lot of facts before you can say that somebody is lying. There isn't anything that can replace evidence in telling if somebody is truthful or not.

The shoulder shrugs that i have shown you are partial body movement. They usually occur when the person isn't sure about what he is saying.
Here are a few examples from the videos that i have analyzed:

The feeling that i have when I'm doing this is that I'm not comfortable in my own skin. I'm usually well aware of this type of sign's when I'm making them yet most people aren't. I have done a few controlled experiments in which this particular body movement is pretty common. I can't show the videos because the people that i have worked with(usually friend and family) wouldn't be to happy about this. In my experiments i ask the person that i would be interviewing a few question which they can answer truthfully or not. After the interview was over i would go over the question with them and get the sentences that are lies and the one's that are truthful and then watch the videos for sign's of deceit. It's not always a intentional misleading. Sometimes i would ask a difficult question and the first answer wouldn't always be truthful.

Hope this short tutorial was helpful and see you soon when i finish the "Chris Matthews Predicts Brown Win" video.

2010-01-20T23:43:00.009+02:00

This is the video i'm going to be working on.

It's a very long video... about 10 minutes so i won't be doing it all in this post. In my next post i'm going to star explaining what is the shoulder shrug so stay tuned.

1) time 00:00:42 - 4 seconds / first shoulder shrug /

2) time 00:00:53 - 4 seconds / second shoulder shrug - more obvious /

3) time 00:01:07 - 3 seconds / defense maneuver /

4) time 00:02:40 - 3 seconds / sadness,head shaking from side to side in dissaproval and letting go of upper lip
