How to Detect Micro Expressions. Learning micro-expressions. Learning micro-expressions can take time. But, one of the best ways to learn them is to just read and read. Pictures and videos are also a great tool. Fox has a TV show called Lie To Me, most people think it is just TV, but I did a bit of research and the show is based of a real person named Dr. Eckman who was the pioneer researcher in microexpressions. The information in the show is true and they have a scientific adviser that helps them stay true to the facts. I've noticed that watching it has greatly improved my ability to spot microexpressions.
One of the things you will hear over and over again from people who train in microexpression detection is to learn to make the faces yourself. There are a few tests that I've found helpful in testing the effectiveness of my training. The last training tip I can offer is to not be afraid to practice. Also, please note that Test 1 of the Lightman tests is pretty much useless, its just a quiz about lying statistics. Psych.rutgers.edu/undergrad/forms/fieldwork.pdf.
