Today, in areas such as psychiatric, business, judiciary and even everyday life, may be noticed an increased attention to non-verbal communication. Emotion indicators (including facial expressions, microexpressions, facial mimicry and pantomime) help us to predict any masked intentions of our interlocutor. Given that verbal language is often used for deception, representing an effective way of manipulation, non-verbal language can reveal gaps between the words and the feelings of a person; those gaps are also known as lies. This paper will address microexpressions (extremely fast facial expressions which betrays one of the person's basic emotions (anger, sadness, disgust, fear, surprise, contempt, happiness) as microexpressions are one of the most studied indicators of concealed emotions. Although there is a varied, individual combinatorics of the seven basic emotions, microexpressions are almost universal. The ability of microexpressions recognition, as an interpersonal communication skill is an advantage for the ordinary individual and at the same time is a necessity in the domain of psychologists, clinicians, medicine practitioners and security. Today, testing and training packages in microexpressions recognition are available for the interested public because of the work of scientific researchers like Paul Ekman or David Mtsumoto that developed with their teams autotraining and self-testing tools METT Advanced at http://www.paulekman.com) and Micro Expression Recognition Tool available as MIX at www.humintell.com)
