You cannot hide your feelings: Neuroscientist reveals how the brain judges faces and tones before you even know

NYU neuroscientist Dr. Wendy Suzuki explains that the brains superior temporal sulcus (STS) acts as an internal emotion detector, reading microexpressions, tone, and posture before words are spoken. In her Instagram post she highlights how this instinctive decoding shapes social interactions. Suzuki encourages observing others tone and expressions to enhance emotional intelligence, empathy, and self-awareness in a world increasingly dominated by digital communication.
