Our readingWhat is a korrent?

You cannot reliably tell how someone feels from their facial expression, and Ekman's universality claim does not survive a reading of the whole literature.

Drawn from what Ralph Adolphs said

What Ralph Adolphs actually said

  1. Ralph Adolphs Bren Professor of Psychology
    We took stock of the whole literature and asked is this really true? Is Ecman's claim really true? Can you tell how someone feels from their facial expression? And the answer is well not nearly as well as you would think and in general not.
