Brain Games (2011)

Episode Overview

Your face is truly something special. Whether it’s youthful, expressionless, or beloved only by your mom, your identity is intricately tied to your one-of-a-kind visage. With more than 40 muscles that can twist and bend, your face enables you to convey an almost endless range of emotions. But it's not just about your own expressions; your brain is also skilled at interpreting the emotions displayed on others' faces. In this episode focused on faces, we’re going to challenge your perceptions and reveal that there is much more to a face than what appears on the surface.
