Through experiments, they discovered that our emotions really do change how we see a neutral(中性的 ) face. Dr Erika Siegel and her colleagues study how our emotions change our perceptions(感知 ) of the world around us—even when we aren39。 flashes of neutral, or smiling faces, which they would only subconsciously be aware of.
