Episode notes
Snake's Dramatic Death Feint
- Gordon Burghardt used a chicken puppet to provoke a hog‑nosed snake into a dramatic death feint performance.
- The snake vomited blood, went limp, then revived once the threat disappeared, showing animal bluffing in nature.
Microexpressions Reveal Hidden Emotion
- Paul Ekman mapped facial muscles and defined micro‑expressions as brief involuntary leaks of genuine emotion.
- These micro expressions reveal concealed emotions but are fleeting and hard to spot without training.
Avoid Pinpointing One Facial 'Tell'
- Don't assume a single facial cue proves lying; Ekman warns there's no Pinocchio muscle that guarantees deception.
- Look for signs of emotional or cognitive load and then investigate reasons rather than relying on one indicator.
