Facial Action Coding System

Improved Essays
There is a standard anatomically based Facial Action Coding System (FACS)[24] developed by psychologists for use in coding facial expressions of a terrorist. With FACS, observers can manually code all possible discrete movements of the face, which are referred to as action units (AUs). . An individually or in combination can represent all visibly discriminable expressions Considering the complication of the movements involved and discrimination of the subtle changes, there is a need to develop an automated system for efficient and quantitative measurements of terrorist facial expression based on FACS, which will make the standardized facial expression measurements more accessible for research in various type of terrorists.

    In our example, the visual message (the eye rolling and facial expression) does not agree with the audible message (the words being spoken). This is sarcasm and irony. Moreover, messages within the same medium can conflict to produce a “sarcastic” interpretation. For example, when someone is being sarcastic, their tone of voice (an audible message) conflicts with the words spoken (also an audible message); in this case the contradicting messages within one transmission medium result in a “sarcastic tone”. The scholarly article, Lower, Slower, Louder: Vocal Cues of Sarcasm Vocal describes how people can detect sarcasm.…

    The movie Crash consisted of several forms of communication from nonverbal, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Nonverbal communication is all kinds of human messages and responses not expressed in words. Usually when watching movies I tend to not pay attention and focus towards what 's going on.

    This classification is unbelievably detailed, including each separate facial muscle and any possible facial expression that can be made with any combination of these facial muscles. A person’s unconscious is often reflected on their face even it is only for a moment. If someone receives a gift he does not like, his face may show their true feelings for a split second although it is quickly replaced with a smile. Studying these facial expressions allowed Tomkins and Ekman to basically read people’s minds by seeing the physical flashes of the subconscious, or “micro expressions”. The biggest affirmation of Tomkins and Ekman's belief would be when it was found that many facial expressions, such as anger, actually resulted i changes in the nervous system.…

    In 1969, Paul Ekman argued that anger, fear, disgust, sadness, and happiness are considered primary emotions that produce innate facial expressions. He suggested that surprise, pride, and contempt should be included within the group of “basic emotions”. The innate theory was proposed by Caroll Izard’s research on young infant’s facial expressions. The experiment included in this ZAP activity asked me to choose which emotion I thought the picture provided was portraying most accurately. From my results, I can conclude that basic emotions such as happiness, surprise, and disgust are the most frequently detected.…

You have to record an actor making all kinds of facial expressions in different conditions frequently for training a capture system to match expressions, which is kind of difficult for a studio that doesn’t have much money. Disney Research has found a solution for this. It has developed a facial capture system that would dramatically reduce effort and time to capture facial expressions.…

    Each micro expression of the face can be tied to an exact meaning which correlates with a mental process. Face reading has an advantage over verbal communications because these miniscule expressions cannot be consciously controlled, and therefore have direct connotations to mental processes. Ekman found about three thousand micro expressions to which he could assign specific connotations and called them by a numbered action-unit. All these action units catalogue the “essential repertoire of human emotion” (Gladwell). This is not to say that the three thousand action units explain every human emotion, in the psychological view of the face, only expressions that have specific and universal denotations can be considered an action unit.…
