A microexpression is a brief, involuntary facial expression shown on the face of humans according to emotions experienced. They usually occur in high-stakes situations, where people have something to lose or gain. Unlike regular facial expressions, it is difficult to fake microexpressions. Microexpressions express the seven universal emotions: disgust, anger, fear, sadness, happiness, surprise, and contempt.They can occur as fast as 1/25 of a second.
微表情是一种人类在试图隐藏某种情感时无意识做出的、短暂的面部表情。微表情通常会在人们经历得失、情势危急的时候出 现。 跟普通的面部表情不同的是,微表情很少能够装出来。微表情能够完全反映出人类共有的厌恶、愤怒、恐惧、悲伤、幸福、惊讶以及轻蔑这七种情绪特征。微表情能 在1/25秒内一闪而过。
