mistake in referencing reference #5

"Although the labeling of expressions currently requires trained experts, researchers have had some success in using computers to automatically identify FACS codes, and thus quickly identify emotions. [5]"

Looking at [5], it does not relate to computers at all.

pars orbitalis is not a muscle.

Pars orbitalis is a bone; presumably there is some other muscle that is associated with a genuine smile? Vectro 21:24, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The muscle associated with the Duchenne Smile is the orbitis oculi, pars lateralis

Is this a commercial?

Blink (book). Current bestseller has a section on FACS.

It links to a wikipedia article about the book, but its still a commercial product. Should that be allowed? Dream Focus (talk) 18:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not, though I suspect it should be elaborated. Gladwell uses FACS, and also has a personal interview with the scientists behind it in the book, to create an argument for how facial expression and intuition about other people's intentions are linked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.136.90.246 (talk) 07:32, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
