BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Paul Ekman received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Adelphi University (1958) after a one-year internship at the Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute, University of California San Francisco (UCSF). He served two years as First Lieutenant and chief psychologist at Fort Dix, New Jersey, then returned to Langley Porter (UCSF) where he became professor of psychology in the UCSF medical school in 1972, retiring in 2004.
Dr. Ekmans research started in the late 1950s, focusing on hand movements and gesture. It wasnt until 1965 that he became interested in facial expression and emotion after receiving a grant from the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the Department of Defense to examine cross-cultural studies of nonverbal behavior. In 1967 and 1968, Dr. Ekman traveled to Papua New Guinea (photograph at right) to further study nonverbal behavior of the Fore people, an isolated, Stone Age culture located in the South East Highlands.
His research provided the strongest evidence to date that Darwin, not Margaret Mead, was correct in claiming facial expressions are universal. Dr. Ekman then developed, with W. Friesen, the first and only comprehensive tool for objectively measuring facial movement the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), published in 1978, and revised in 2003 with J. Hager as third author. FACS remains the gold standard for identifying any movement the face can make, free of interpretive inferences. Ekman then teamed with Terry Sejnowski to show that neural networks could be used to have computer based facial measurements.
In 1967, Dr. Ekman began to study deception, starting with clinical cases in which the patients falsely claimed not to be depressed in order to commit suicide when not under supervision. In the very first case, when films were examined in slow motion, Ekman and Friesen saw micro facial expressions which revealed strong negative feelings the patient was trying to hide.
When he retired from the University of California in 2004, after more than thirty years as a full professor, Dr. Ekman decided to translate his research findings into resources that could be of help to the general public. He formed the Paul Ekman Group, PEG LLC, and authored his book Emotions Revealed: Understanding Faces and Feelings to Improve Emotional Life. An earlier publication, Telling Lies, had prompted national and regional law enforcement groups to ask for help. Now it came, in the form of workshops and interactive training tools.
The FOX TV program Lie to Me, based on Ekmans research and expertise, brought international publicity to micro expressions and Ekmans work. He conducted workshops with major security agencies worldwide.
CURRENT WORK
For the last decade Ekman has worked to translate his research into practical applications;
Some of Ekmans current work emerges from his close relationship with the Dalai Lama. Reflecting more than fifty hours spent in one-on-one conversation with the Dalai Lama, an ebook, Moving Towards Global Compassion, is now available. In addition, Dr. Ekman, with his daughter Dr. Eve Ekman, created the Atlas of Emotions with the support of the Dalai Lama.
