“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…

Have you ever had an embarrassing acne breakout? It is most likely that you have, because eight out of ten people have experienced a breakout in their lifetime ("Why"). If such a situation occurs trying to pop the acne is not the best way to get rid of it, and would likely cause scarring. Instead, see a dermatologist. Dermatologists help treat people with conditions of the skin, hair, and nails ("About Dermatology"). Helping people feel good about their appearance and health is something that…

Radiolab did a segment on how our facial expressions can be hints to our inner emotions by interviewing Paul Ekman, a renowned psychologist who is a pioneer in the study of emotions. The radio segment begins with a psychologist by the name of Gordon Burghardt. Burghardt studies snakes particularly the hognose snake. Gordon studies them by putting a chicken puppet inside the cage and begins to attack the snake with this puppet. The snake reacts by flipping over on its back, starts to bleed from…

nervous system function more or less in speech or hearing; these are the cranial nerves V (Trigeminal), VII (Facial), VIII (Vestibulocochlear), IX (Glossopharyngeal), X (Vagus), XI (Spinal Accessory), and XII (Hypoglossal). These have particular roles other than assisting speech or hearing. Furthermore, most clinical tests for cranial nerve functions neither are recommended to be performed by speech and hearing pathologists, nor are they related to speech or hearing. But the interpretations…

We learn micro expressions so we can gain a broader perspective of how we interact with people, and achieve a greater perspective on situations. Also with the knowledge of micro expressions we can protect against deception, and manipulate or guide the perceptions of other people (Scheve, n.d.). A coding analyst named Dan Hill is able to take facial cues from people and use them to figure out if they are selfish, inclined to get into trouble or will fail under pressure. He then uses that…

About The Microcurrent Facial Facials are a part of many people's skin care routine. If you want to try a different type of facial, then you may want to consider trying a microcurrent facial. This is a non-invasive and pain-free treatment that can be performed by an esthetician. It involves using an electrical current in order to stimulate elastin and collagen production. It also massages the muscles in the face. Why Microcurrent Facials Should Be A Part Of Your Skin Care Regimen There are…

.4 Basics of Gestures Gesture is the use of nonverbal communication in between the humans or to any other creatures. This kind of communication uses different part of the body such as hand, head, the lips and etc. Those body parts are used to convey messages nonverbally. Basically, for gesture recognitions that are used in the digital world, it can be categorized into three different areas which are voice gesture recognition, facial gesture recognition and hand gesture recognition. 2.4.1 Voice…

So I looked into it more and found a whole bunch of information about how to fix it. I found a particular site that explains, “…those with shoulders that hunch forward too far often have tight pectoral muscles that pull the shoulders forward and rotate them in toward the midline of the body. Pair tight pectorals with weak back muscles and you have an imbalance that pulls the shoulder girdle away from its ideal position. When imbalances like these occur, overactive muscles compensate for…

Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder or autoimmune disorder. An autoimmune disorder occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissue. Neuromuscular disorders involve the muscles and the nerves that control them. With myasthenia gravis, the body produces antibodies that block the muscle cells from receiving messages (neurotransmitters) from the nerve, which causes weakness of the voluntary muscles. Therefore, fewer receptors are available for stimulation, resulting…

Myasthenia Gravis is considered an “autoimmune neuromuscular disease” that is categorized by the different amounts of weakness of the skeletal muscles in the body. The cause of Myasthenia Gravis is a flaw in the transmission of the nerve impulses to the muscles in the body. When normal communication between nerves and muscles are distributed at the neuromuscular junction, Myasthenia Gravis occurs. In normal humans, when an impulse travels down a nerve, the nerve then releases a neurotransmitter…
