At a human polygraph FACE ...

Social engineering attacks rely on an attacker someone to get information or privileged access to a network, system or part of a building successfully to deceive. The famous hacker Kevin Mitnik was a social engineering attacks and often teachers to access I needed.

People can learn to recognize the deception going on? Is training to recognize the signs of lying or stupid? A course like this would be a valuable tool for company staff training as a secretary or security guards who are supposed to be in the line of social engineering attacks against probably be.

In my research to answer the previous question, I found the site of the formation of the face of Dr. Paul Ekman. On his website, which provides more than $ 69, which means the expression Training Tool METT called Micro.

If you have ever seen the TV series Lie to Me Fox Network, then you are probably familiar with the term micro-expression. A micro-expression is an expression that (a fraction of a second) occurs at high speed, which can reveal possibly someone really feel when they get angry, sad, happy, etc. Although it can someone not his thoughts Read This Micro-expressions can show information about how a person really feels. The micro-expressions can also help you to recognize when someone is not telling the truth, especially when their micro-expressions contradict what they say.

Dr. Ekman has studied the micro-expressions for several decades and it was really a scientific advisor for Lie-TV. The Education Dr. Ekman is oriented law enforcement, security, media professionals, and anyone else interested in learning to read micro expressions, so they can see how people really feel and possibly recognize is deception.

The website of Dr. Ekman has a few different formations. I decided that METT advanced courses to study with more content, and it was the range of courses available.

The METT Advanced course focuses on teaching you how to recognize micro-expressions correspond to seven basic human emotions: anger, disgust, sadness, fear, surprise, happiness and anger.

The course is completely web browser conducted online via a Flash-enabled. After enrollment, pay the registration fee and is provided with access to training, you get to receive a brief introduction. After the introduction, you will be prompted to set the sensitivity for the visualization of micro-expressions that will be presented to you during the training and testing parts of the course. Recommend that you use the fastest speed, but allow switching to the slower speed if you run into problems. It is important to note that a certificate of satisfactory progress by you are given the fastest speed (and guests 80% or more in the course of using post-test) degree.

Once the speed is set, you will be directed to a pre-test of short videos that contain different people with different micro-expressions. The purpose of the pre-test is to see how you, the above seven emotions can be seen in the situation of course. I scored 57% in the pre-test, so I guess I am not by nature with the ability to micro-expressions Read gifted.

After the pre-test, you will be with videos, which will be presented at the micro-expressions for different emotions that the course focuses. These videos show the micro-expressions in slow motion, so you can study them in detail. Some videos have a side by side comparison of the two emotions that are often confused with each other, so you can see the subtle differences to see distinguish them. Anger and disgust are closely related, such as fear and surprise are.

Once you've seen the videos and feel like you are ready, you can try the practice exam to help you prepare for the real test is at the end of the course .. In the practical test, you will be presented with short video sequences micro-expressions of 42 people from different cultures. The included micro-expressions, the core subjects are universal and not to be dependent on a person's sex, race or national origin.

You will be prompted to enter the appropriate emotion you think, seen to select micro-expression that shows the video button. He will tell you if you guessed correctly and have the option of directing the expression of micro-and more if necessary to see. Some examples even offer a feedback button that provides more details about the expression on the video that was presented available.

Once done with the practice test, you can use the "post-test" that take place are marked. If you have a 80% or more (just fast mode), you will receive a certificate of satisfaction to receive. A value of 95% or more, you will receive a certificate. I managed a 82% on the first attempt, the strong, because my 57% has been improved in the pre-test condition.

Otherwise 80% or more in the post-test, or if you just want to get more exercise, it is a "practical additional section" 84 videos that provide additional area to to try your luck with.

The website indicates that you repeat the course in your case, since not end when you have paid for it.

Overall, I liked the course. Dr. Ekman is a renowned research leader in micro expressions and material seems to be very well documented. Although the title of the course is Advanced METT, the price feels more like a history of the building blocks of the Foundation Level. I feel that I now know the basics and would like to see a follow-up course is on what I've learned. According to the person that I received from Dr. Ekman, a website for training high spoke in the works and should be released soon.

Do I feel that I read anyone's mind now? No, but I feel like I pay more attention to the facial expressions of people and now I can better understand what they are showing their micro-expressions, maybe I can get a better idea of how they really feel, even if their mouths to say something get the opposite. For $ 69 this is a very good course and is worth the price of admission. I look forward to the next offer Dr. Ekman.

Dr. Ekman METT Advanced is an online course available Face Training website of Dr. Ekman.
