Is the selfie always not good enough? Scientists will teach you a trick

How was your game yesterday? On the second day of the holiday, many people must have started a “selfie battle” in their circle of friends, revealing their holiday status one after another.

Know that everyone is worried about how to take good-looking photos. Don’t worry. Let’s share a self photographing skill that even stars are using——

A long-standing secret of “golden left face”

Have you found that some star fashion blockbusters always show only the left face, and the selfie on social media only selects the left face angle: 

An analysis of the pictures in the selfie City database of the selfie software also found that people prefer to take their left face, whether they take selfie directly on their mobile phone or in the mirror.

Why do people prefer to show their left face when taking photos?

Because… The left face is more popular than the right face.

In terms of emotional expression, the left face is more prominent and reliable in expressing real emotions.

The brain is divided into left and right hemispheres. The right side advantage of the brain makes the right brain play a more important role in facial expression expression and perception.

The right hemisphere dominates the left side of the body, so when expressing real emotions, the brain will output stronger movement instructions to the left face.

The human face has more than 40 muscles, which can combine thousands of expressions, but the muscle movement ranges of the left and right faces are different. 

Nicholls and other researchers used three-dimensional imaging technology to measure facial movement and found that whether positive or negative emotions, the amount of movement of the left half of the face is greater and the expression of emotions is more advantageous.

In 2012, Blackburn and schirillo conducted an experiment using emotional faces and found that the left face scored higher on happiness score and was more attractive to subjects.

Whether it was a normal left face or a right face after reversing it, the subjects thought it was happier and better looking.

If you want to make yourself more popular on social media, you might as well use this trick and take more selfies of your left face.

However, not everyone prefers to show their left face. After all, there is another key factor when choosing their left face or right face

Whichever side looks good, show it.
