FYI - I made a mistake in my list of seven universal human emotions.

Contempt (not deception) is one of the seven universal human emotions.

MtnGoat - Glad you found that interesting.

History buffs might appreciate this. In the class we watched a clip of Ekman analyzing a video of Kim Philby denying being the infamous 'Third Man' (with Burgess and Maclean.)

At :39-42 of the video above you watch Philby denying being the Third Man, and a split second later you see clearly see a very slight grin on his face (microexpression of joy, which Ekman calls Duping Delight - the thrill of lying.)

Philby, of course, had been spying for the USSR since the 30s and would later defect to the USSR.

(I couldn't find the clip of Ekman analyzing Philby, but it might be out there. Seemed like if was from a TV show.)
