Title: Dollars from Heaven


1
Dollars from Heaven?!
...Or MyHuman Facial Expressions Experiment
2
What are facial expressions?
  • A nonverbal signal that expresses emotions or
    feelings
  • Not all animals display them
  • i.e fish

3
Other animals...
  • This dog is looking a little pensive

4
More animals...
  • What emotion does this cat show?

5
Last but not least!
  • Lets not forget ourselves now!

6
More people
  • What kind of face is this?

7
Whats up with that?!
  • The "lip bite"
  • indication of curiosity or confusion

8
Happiness
  • If that isn't the perfect smile...

9
Unhappiness Sucks
  • These boys are hatin' it...

10
What in the HELL?!
11
What the...?
  • You probably looked like this after seeing that
    last slide...

12
My Experiment
Hypothesis What facial expression is seen when
one is pleasently surprised?
13
The plan
  • Plant a dollar bill in a obvious place a observe
    what happens when it is picked up.
  • This required finding a place where there were a
    lot of people
  • and a way of placing a dollar where no one would
    see me drop it.

14
The habitat
  • Oxmoor Center Mall

15
How I did it...
  • Set up on a balcony
  • place camera where it could record the event
  • dropped dollar from above
  • watched event from other side of camera in case
    someone picked it up from the other side (you'll
    see)
  • record information on notepad

16
My equipment
  • My Computer
  • video equiment
  • notepad
  • and 3 1 bills!

17
The control
  • Just a plain piece of paper
  • click picture to view results...

18
The results
  • What a surprise no one picked it up!
  • BUT...
  • it does prove that people will react differently
    when a real dollar is on the ground.

19
Subject 1
  • Dollar 1

20
Subject 2
  • Dollar 2

21
Subject 2...again
  • I was discovered...damn
  • the video missed it after I movved the camera but
    she looked up before picking up the dollar.

22
Data Analysis
  • From the limited data few conclusions can be drawn

23
My final thoughts...
  • It can be assumed that almost no one will pick up
    a blank piece of paper on the ground
  • but will always pick up a dollar bill
  • and after talking to the young lady who took two
    of my dollars I learned that I was someone "being
    really stupid"

24
Wait! There's more...
  • Human 'head sniffing'
  • not a facial expression but something weird that
    we do for some reason...
