Micro expressions are very brief facial

expressions, lasting only a fraction of a second. They

occur when a person either deliberately or unconsciously

conceals a feeling. Seven emotions have universal

signals: anger, fear, sadness, disgust, contempt, surprise and happiness. You can learn to spot them.
