Course taught by Dr Sandro Pereira (Ph.D) and Dra Silvia Bez
Scientific studies on Reading the Facial Expression of Emotion, combined with Neuroscience, have led to disruptive changes in society. This knowledge has made it possible to take a new look at understanding emotions and, consequently, human behaviour in various social contexts.
What sets this course apart is the fact that it will be taught by one of the leading experts on the subject, Dr Sandro Pereira (Ph.D), author of several scientific works in the field (Handbook on Facial Expression of Emotion, Vol. 3, 4 & 5). In addition, real media cases will be used to analyse facial micro-expressions.
