Smiling for just a split second makes people more likely to see happiness in another person’s expressionless face, new research has discovered.
And the finding could lead to new treatments for depression or disorders that affect expression, like Parkinson’s and autism.
Even a brief weak grin makes faces appear more joyful according to the study.
The pioneering experiment used electrical stimulation to spark smiles in volunteers while they looked at digital avatars.
The volunteers were asked to assess whether the avatar looked happy or sad.
In half of the tests, the muscles in the volunteer that controlled smiling were activated at the revealing of the avatar’s face.
A painless electric current manipulated muscles momentarily into action – creating a short uncontrollable smile.
By using computers, the team was able to control the onset of smiles with millisecond precision.
In total 47 people took part in the study at Essex University in the UK.
OPS: An induced smile given to a volunteer. The experiment showed that when looking at an expressionless avatar face, inducing a smile in the volunteer made them regard the expresionless avatar as being happy.

Cramped bunk beds take up most of the space in the bunker and oxygen levels would be kept low to induce sleepfullness. The fallout shelter was for the general population and would be filled on a first come, first served basis. Facilities are minimal but it is one of several around Berlin. This one is open to the public on guided tours from the Berlin Story museum.
