Good eye Mike, (pun intended) but I have no clue about the Ekman stuff; I think that her face is a bit asymmetrical and she seems to have a droopy eyelid on one side, which I can relate to.
My vote is that she has a migraine. And who wouldn't in her situation? Not my cup of tea ;) The morning radio show I listen to out of LA has had more about the drunken brother who is organizing the big party tonight. LOL. Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.

Okay, so I decided to watch the wedding between Will and Kate this morning. I noticed that though Kate did a good job smiling when she stopped smiling, her face was asymmetric with the right side of her mouth slightly open. It looks a little like she's talking out of the side of her mouth, 1930's movie gangster style. This was particularly clear when Kate and Will were sitting in the horse drawn carriage (this was on the live video feed on CNN). Here's a video clip from the CNN website that shows a bit of what I'm referring to -- look at Kate circa 1 minute 16 seconds into the video: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2011/04/29/vo.royal.couple.depart.itn?hpt=C2 It looks a little like a smirk but it could just be that the lower part of her face is asymmetrical. Look at photo #5 which has a full face shot. You can save the image and then open it up in an image viewer program to make her face larger. Zooming in shows the asymmetry; see: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/photos-of-the-newly-married-royal-couple/article2002025/ Photo #6 also shows a bit of the asymmetry but because it is a 3/4 facial shot it is weaker evidence of the asymmetry. Is anyone familiar with Paul Ekman facial expression categorization system? What muscles is Kate using in Photo #5? -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: tay...@sandiego.edu.
