Preview tonight’s episode of Lie to Me, airing at 8/7central on FOX.
At the end of the preview an interesting question is posed to Dr. Lightman as to whether he could read someone that could barely move their eyes. This is a valid inquiry, as injury or impairment of any facial muscles could limit the amount of movement a person could have when expressing emotions.
Similarly, when individuals get botox injections, certain facial muscles are paralyzed therefore impeding the ability to express certain emotions. An interesting article was written recently which suggests that botox not only “may harm the expression of an emotion, but also its comprehension”.
