Recognition training of fleeting involuntary facial expressions often known as micro expressions. These expressions can be extremely accurate in portraying concealed emotion, yet often go unnoticed due to their extremely short duration (1/25 - 1/15 second). This app is designed to improve skills in recognizing concealed emotions. To the best of our knowledge the information contained within the app is correct, however we are enthusiasts and not experts. Please bear in mind information within this project is as yet unverified. We are continually working to increase accuracy and improve expression images.
