The Daily Mail noted that this is the latest work by the OSU researchers on decoding facial expressions. The website reported the group also published findings in 2014 that suggested humans have 21 facial expressions rather than the six which had always been the accepted norm.

“This is the first study to pinpoint a part of the brain responsible for encoding facial ‘action units’ – for example, the raising of an eyebrow or curling of a lip,” Golomb told The Columbus Dispatch. “The idea is that different combinations of action units form different emotional expressions.”
