  • Friend or foe? In a fraction of a second, our brain forms an impression of a person based on their facial expressions and voice. And artificial intelligence is getting better and better at interpreting human emotions.
    Faces and voices are the first impressions we get of people we don’t know. In less than half a second, we decide whether we like or trust a person, and how intelligent we think they are. That’s thanks to the astonishing processing power of our brains. We learn to read facial expressions as babies, and as we grow older we continue to interpret emotions according to facial expressions. The voice also plays a crucial role: speed, syntax, tone, and phonetics all provide information about what a person is feeling.
    But we are not the only ones who can decipher human emotions. Artificial intelligence technology is also learning to read faces and voices. A photo or a spoken sentence is usually enough to get information about identity, health, emotions and even personality. And the internet has become a vast and ever-growing database of faces and voices. Based on the sound of a voice, artificial intelligence can now detect whether a person suffers from Parkinson's, depression or even Covid-19. In this documentary, international experts offer insight into the latest science, illuminating how our brains work -- and the potential of artificial intelligence.

    Summary:
    - Brain judges based on first impressions are developed long ago when our ancestors lived without language. And everything they decide is based on gesture, face, or voice. A fast conclusion is very important for survival.
    - We have a tendency to do mimicry of people that we talk with. The more we try to do the same (gesture, expression, or voice), it means that we are interested in/like that person.
    - If we explain something with a smiley face, the listener could be smiley too. It is gonna be different if we use serious faces to explain something.
    - Until now, it is difficult to identify whether people lying or not. Because, people that confident about what they said and feel that the witness is true, seem so hard to identify that they were lying.
    - We can learn how to communicate to be more likable. For example, emphasizing words can send a clear signal, and we need to consider short pauses too. It can be learned, like learning new vocabulary or grammar.
    - We react to these cues from a very young age
    - Our brains are lazy because we want to minimize our energy level, so we tend to make fast predictions, expectations, impressions, or judgments about something, like places, people, and stuff.
    - Are we can unlearn stereotypes?
    It seems NO. more conscious or less conscious, people are applying stereotypes.

      I believe you.
      I have a big nose and what I perceive-beside people who already knows me- people who just meet me analyze my face, my accent, and so on and on.
      When I got a nose filler I remember going to interviews was so different….
      People smiled more, they felt like they could trust me more, I believe that an important nose makes some people uncomfortable, doubtful, or they just prefer someone with a smaller nose, because a big nose might give you the feeling of a big personality…
      Well I still see people talking and acting different to me now- with nose filler.
      Also smiling or not smiling, changes so much other people perceptions…
      Personally I’ve never judged through facial features, clothing or facial expressions.
      However I have a big perception about someone’s voice- tone.
      I think communication is soo fascinating.
      I also do social experiments with my pets 🤣
      They can recognize when I say something negative or when I compliment etc…
      I believe we’re all very electric somehow.
      The strongest thing is the voice in my opinion!

    Beautiful documentary that highlights something I'm currently studying in undergrad psych -- fluid and crystallized intelligences. Which abilities are we born with, and which do we learn? In combination with this documentary, its hard to overlook some uncomfortable social concepts like racism, inequality and class division.

      “Fluid” intelligence …and “Crystalized” intelligence? It’s been decades since my graduate studies…but I have run into this double-speak before. I have learned to use some healthy skepticism when hearing others indulge in what appears to be normal shop talk.
      It’s been my experience that the definition of intelligence (and Aristotle) is knowing how little we know.
      This documentary, as “beautiful” as it appears, repeated several errors, including the curious “Primates process vocal cues the same way WE DO”…ignoring the fact that WE ARE PRIMATES TOO!

I can honestly say that I have not yet allowed questionable people into my life. I am quite good at keeping people I don’t get along at arm’s length.

    I have never had that instinct for reading a person only based on a first impression. I wouldn't say autism is involved, but I either have to totally trust or totally not trust. The only way to protect myself is to totally not trust by default. Then slowly learn to trust as I get to know them. I try not to make any decisions after a first impression because I can't trust it.

You have to do masters or a PhD to get anywhere with psych. Look at HR or social work or counselling roles that would appreciate your knowledge.psych is highly competitive & selective and it gets harder in post-grad but better job opportunities for sure. I find the process ridiculously convoluted & highly stressful which is frustrating when you want to help the ever increasing need for mental health workers. Consider specialising in a subdiscipline of psych like community psych or educational psych, or even organisational/industrial psych, that I think will only need a certificate or a diploma.

    "Our brains are lazy because we want to minimize our energy level, so we tend to make fast predictions, expectations, impressions, or judgments about something, like places, people," I agree w this from below - more recent 'scientific' reviews suggest we really are not very good at instant impressions or deeper impressions, which includes whether someone is lying or not, even experts are not very good. Almost everything we do filters through our 'perceptions' which say much more about our upbringing, other past information, the stereotypes we have agreed to, etc. If we want more accurate and nuanced Perspective, we have to work for it, and it is hard work. Some good information here, but not all up to date. We are human - like to 'think' we are better at things than we really are - lol - I do like that we are starting to admit to some of our limitations and to consider how we might improve the currently unfair predictable outcomes.

    It's funny that we are just now trying to understand this from a human perspective. Animals, in particular, dogs, can make these determinations far more accurately even from a distance. They rely on smell, sight, and all their sensory capabilities, including body language and movements of another dog and will make a very accurate assumption almost immediately. We should be looking into dogs to really find out how this works in humans. Food for thought.

      Why use a different species to understand how another species determines things?
      Sure, we can look at animal (dogs as you said) studies to learn some things...but not the "how" of humans use information, or determine split section analysis of them.
      Using the way an ostrich sees the world doesn't help understand how a hippo views the world 🙄
      Study humans to understand humans. Learn about attachment theory, the subconscious, neuroscience, genetics, epigenetics, but don't try to cross over the info of dogs to ascertain how humans sense things!!

    It's a much broader issue than first impressions. Human beings are intricately involved in how they appear to one another, from love to hate, a persons appearance is a conclusive stimulation of everything from rejection, acceptance, sexual attraction and more.
    Everything in your life is determined by your appearance, your opportunities, your inclusion or your disenfranchisement.
    It's what Fashion is all about including the overt desire to be sexually attractive, 80 billion articles of clothing are sold each year, about 49 billion dollars a year are spent on cosmetics in the USA alone, on top of that the psychology of marketing attempts to make you feel unacceptable if you are not up to date with the latest fashions or involved with make up.
    How we appear and how others appear to us is so intrinsic that we never know we are involved in discrimination or full blown acceptance of others or ourselves.
    It is what movies are all about, we watch others with a hawk's eye, even babies sit in front of videos of other babies enthralled and will watch intently.
    Our societies are based upon how we perceive each other, social ranking and economic success, even pairing up and mating are heavily influenced and for the most part beyond our control.
    At this point we don't even know who we are and remain a product which is very significant in that it is very profitable but invariably pitiful.
