"The Science of Smiling: How It Unlocks Happiness"
A study by the University of Essex has found that even a brief weak grin can make neutral faces appear happier, using electrical stimulation to influence emotional perception. This breakthrough research could lead to new treatments for emotional expression disorders and has potential applications in understanding facial feedback. The study, led by Dr. Sebastian Korb, used a modernized version of a 19th-century technique to manipulate facial muscles and induce the perception of happiness in expressionless faces, with implications for conditions like Parkinson's and autism.
