The power of the face in communication

The New York Times had a very interesting article today about research on the importance of the face in conveying non-verbal messages and how even those without control of their facial expressions can read facial messages. While those who are not able to control their face cannot mimic facial expression, they can adapt and still learn to read and respond to non-verbal cues. Further research will explore how these adaptations can be used with other groups who struggle with non-verbal cues.
