Thesis

As my thesis progresses, I am studying emotions, and more specifically, micro-emotions.  The idea that we make involuntary facial tweaks or spasms that give away our secrets, when we lie, and repressed emotions.  Certain body language is also a signifier for micro-emotions, but my focus will be principally on the face.

I look to Paul Ekman's research, which as recently inspired a new television series Lie to Me.
