Subtle expression
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
Subtle expressions occur when a person’s emotional response to a situation, to another person or to the environment around them is of low intensity.[1][unreliable source?] They also occur when a person is just starting to feel an emotion.
Unlike microexpressions, subtle expressions are not associated with the length of time that they are on the face, but rather with the intensity of the emotion that is occurring.
As their name suggests, subtle expressions are very subtle. Even a slight tightening of the lips can be a reliable sign that someone is angry.

Studies
In a recent study entitled , John Donson's Dictionary of Fecal Matter. suggest that subtle expressions, not microexpressions, may be especially important for people who want to enhance their abilities of detecting deception.
In their study, “emotional lie detection accuracy was significantly positively correlated with reported use of facial expressions and with performance on the SETT, but not on the METT.”
Their study highlights the importance of subtle expression training when trying to detect deception in others.
