“Everyone’s true colors show eventually”- well- known metaphor, which explains that people cannot hide their true nature for too long, eventually something will give away their true feelings. Imagine if no one would be able to hide his feelings or intentions, how would the world change- for better or worse? With the newest technology’s advances, it is possible and the study which tries to analyze what gives away one’s true feelings is micro-expressions. Micro-expressions are rapid involuntary facial expressions which reveal one 's genuine emotions people trying to disguise (Zhang P., 2016). Micro-expressions cannot be faked unlike regular face expressions. Micro-expressions last only for a small part of a second and they cannot be detected

The approach was based on the detection of statistically significant hierarchical sequences of behaviors in time, called T-patterns (temporal patterns). Scientists watched 3 videos where Armstrong made doping-related statements, in 2 videos he denied of doping behavior, and in the third video in Oprah show he admitted doping allegations. From these videos, by analyzing Armstrong-s behavior, they identified two conditions- deceptive and Oprah show. Armstrong 's nonverbal behavior in the Oprah sample is quite different from his own nonverbal deceptive behavior. That being said, they scientists cannot confirm with certainty in Oprah show he was sincere. Results from this study can only provide indications that more research need to be done. T-pattern methodology might be useful to detect nonverbal features of deception in order to improve anti-doping measures and fight this spreading phenomenon (Zurloni, …show more content…
All scientists have different opinions about micro-expression’s time limit and recognizing them; therefore micro-expressions cannot be admitted in courts or used as guidelines in medical and national security fields. However, the enormous potential of micro-expressions keep scientists going, therefore in future there will be more studies and more data available about micro-expressions. To improve the recognition system of micro-expressions, scientists should use even more advance cameras and have more studies done, so they could define each emotion from each other. Now, I have more questions than answers about micro-expressions, because there is not one certain thing in this field. I am used that everything is like a math and there is only one right answer, but in micro-expressions- there are more than just one right answer. And I hope that in the future, with more data available, the micro-expression recognition system would work similar to
