Certain tribes of indigenous Native Americans used to practice what they called "face reading." They believed, perhaps correctly, that a person's face revealed all manner of information about his or her life, character traits, soul. Today, studies have shown that one can learn much more than just how to detect truth from lies, and it's no surprise that study of subtle changes in the face transmit all manner of information about our intents, feelings, apprehensions, emotional states, and many other "tells" about our otherwise-secret thoughts.
