除了故事還不錯之外，我查了一下 Paul Ekman 的資料，發現他真的開了一家顧問公司 Paul Ekman Group。
Currently, he is the Manager of the Paul Ekman Group, LLC (PEG), a small company that produces training devices relevant to emotional skills, and is initiating new research relevant to national security and law enforcement.沒想到這種冷門的學問也可以賺大錢。Paul Ekman 原本是在研究表情和肢體是先天或後天的學術問題，沒想到後來跟測謊扯上關係，真是有趣，我想他也想不到吧。
Ekman showed that contrary to the belief of some anthropologists including Margaret Mead, facial expressions of emotion are not culturally determined, but universal across human cultures and thus biological in origin. Expressions he found to be universal included those indicating anger, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, and surprise. Findings on contempt are less clear, though there is at least some preliminary evidence that this emotion and its expression are universally recognized.
