we've got this whole world language of
nonverbal behavior that's going on when
even when we're talking psychologist
David Matsumoto has made a career out of
focusing on what people don't say the
face conveys so much information he
works with police and experts around the
world to find the truth by reading faces
when people are telling a lie and it's a
high-stakes situation and they don't
want to get caught there's often
inconsistency between the verbals and
the non rules what do you see in this TV
interview with the highest-paid player
in baseball for the record have you ever
used performance-enhancing substance you
know did you see that he said no but his
nonverbal said yes he curled his lip
right there on the left side and that's
a that's a reliable sign of contempt and
so what he's doing he's saying no but
he's signaling yes and he's showing you
that he's contemptuous so that picture
that you're getting in this in this
combination of messages is not very
consistent a few months after this
interview Alex Rodriguez admitted to
using steroids
dr. Matsumoto says despite where you're
from what gender what background what
age people all show the same seven
Universal emotions the same way now his
latest study is digging deeper into our
emotions Matsumoto took his theory to
the Athens Olympics this is the gold
medal match in judo Matsumoto knows the
sport well he was the Olympic had
coached for several years he found that
emotions are not learned but something
that we're all born with this big broad
huge smile that is that just happens as
an immediate automatic unconscious
reaction pure joy not unusual here but
at the para-olympics a few weeks later
the blind winners who have never seen
another person's smile had the exact
same response revealing that we are born
knowing how to express these emotions
we've got over 40 muscles in the face
that can move independently of each
other and with 40 different muscles you
can have a lot of different combinations
and when you have almost perfect
concordance between blind and sighted
people that's like an amazing finding
and proof that you can't hide your
emotions
