Upon talking to you in person, I am aware that more information must be added. The edits that have been made so far simply change the wording and not the overall content of the article, I will take another look at this article one you add more information

More in-depth definition of a microexpression:

A microexpression is the innate result of both a voluntary and involuntary emotional response that conflicts with one another. This occurs when the amygdala responds appropriately to the stimuli that the individual experiences and the individual wishes to conceal this specific emotion. This results in the individual very briefly displaying their true emotions followed by a false emotional reaction. Human emotions are an unconscious bio-psycho-social reaction that derives from the amygdala and they typically last .5 - 4 seconds, although a microexpression will typically last less than 1/2 of a second.

Added information on the sub-section MFETT and SFETT:

Lie detection is not only an important skill in social situations and the workplace, but a vital aspect to law enforcement and other occupations that deal with continual acts of deception. Microexpression and subtle expression recognition are valuable assets for these occupations as it increases the chance of detecting deception. In recent years it was found that the average person has a 54% accuracy rate in terms of exposing whether a person is lying or being truthful. However, Ekman had done a research experiment and discovered that secret service agents have a 64% accuracy rate. In later years, Ekman found groups of people that are intrigued by this form of detecting deception and had accuracy rates that ranged from 68% to 73%. Their conclusion was that people with the same training on microexpression and Subtle expression recognition will vary depending on their level of Emotional intelligence.

Adding information and removing unnecessary information on Lies and Leakage:

The sympathetic nervous system functions involuntarily and one aspect of the system deals with emotional arousal in response to situations accordingly. Therefore, if an individual decides to deceive someone, they will experience a stress response within because of the possible consequences if caught. A person using deception will typically cope by using nonverbal cues which take the form of bodily movements. These bodily movements occur because of the need to release the chemical buildup of cortisol, which is produced at a higher rate in a situation where there is something at stake. The purpose for these involuntary nonverbal cues are to ease oneself in a stressful situation. In the midst of deceiving an individual, leakage can occur which is when nonverbal cues are exhibited and are contradictory to what the individual is conveying.
