 Emotion Expression - Emotion Faces and Facial Analysis
Surprise expressions occur far less often than people are disposed to say "that surprises me," etc., because in most cases, such phrases indicate a simile, not an emotion.
The brief surprise expression is often followed by other expressions that reveal emotion in response to the surprise feeling or to the object of surprise, emotions such as happiness or fear.
For example, most of us have been surprised, perhaps intentionally, by people who appear suddenly or do something unexpected ("to scare you"), and elicit surprise, but if the person is a friend, a typical after-emotion is happiness; but if a stranger, fear.

 Understanding Feelings by Sanderson Beck
I have analyzed emotions into thirteen categories that are variations of love and dislike, joy and sorrow, hope and fear, humility and pride, anger and guilt, desire and greed, and surprise.
Generally the emotions of love, joy, hope, humility, and surprise may be considered positive, and dislike, sorrow, fear, pride, anger, guilt, desire, and greed have negative aspects.
Anger is a fiery emotion, and some believe in "fighting fire with fire," but I suggest that it makes more sense to fight fire with water.

 Emotion Engine - Graphics
So when programmers are just beginning to develop games for what is, essentially, a new MIPS based architecture and they are found out to be using only a fraction of the Emotion Engine's power, it is little surprise that what was given wasn't all that was expected it would be.
To think that the GS unit is coupled within the Emotion Engine by the two separate vector processing units, which also haven't been taken advantage of to date, and it would seem like Sony have potentially assembled a winning squadron of skilled multi-media campaigners.
Mentioned in the Overview was the fact that, in general, the Emotion Engine's job, with regards to graphics, is to send lists of rendering commands to a separate, single purpose, Graphics Synthesizer processor.

 Wired News: What a Half-Smile Really Means
Subtle expressions are easily overlooked because they involve minor movement in parts of the face-- raised eyelids that might signal the beginnings of fear or surprise, or the angled upturn of the inner eyebrows that might signal the beginnings of sadness.
Often the failure comes from an inability to recognize minute expressions -- micro-expressions that flash across a face for less than a 15th of a second -- that reveal the true emotions a person may be uncomfortable expressing or is simply trying to conceal.
Misreading facial expressions and the emotions underlying them results in a lot of misunderstandings and miscommunication.

 RTE.ie Entertainment - Feeder - Comfort In Sound
It's this diversity and emotion that may surprise some Feeder fans but 'Comfort In Sound' does exactly what it says on the tin.
It's hard to believe some of these tracks were written before the loss of drummer Lee, there's so much emotion, intimacy and passionate expression.
It's an intense, healthy number that continues and strengthens the Feeder sound, but the rest of the album is darker and more varied.

 Journal of General Psychology: Exposed eye area in the expression of various emotions - EEA
We measured the EEA of the planar representation of the eye on the photograph instead of measuring the spherical surface of the eyes because measurement of the spherical surface during micromomentary expressions of emotion is impossible.
The EEA of disgust was significantly smaller than that of any other emotion or than that of the neutral expression because in disgust a person tries to block additional sensory input.
In this experiment, we measured EEA to ascertain whether the expressions of different emotions have a characteristic measure of EEA.

 Half-Bakered
Two hundred and twenty-nine years ago today, General George Washington led the ragged remnants of the colonial army to a last-ditch, do or die, surprise raid against British and Hessian troops in Trenton, New Jersey.
Trying to buy yet another token of genuine emotion as though somewhere in the exchange of consumer products chosen from a specific, pre-determined list of wants, that genuine emotion will be made manifest and will have real meaning, strikes me as hollow in the worst way.
Most plans I've heard generally involved getting ready for the next weekend, or finding the right force (local police are overwhelmed and unprepared, even in Australia's largest city; the Army is thought to be overkill) to bring in.

Surprise, astonishment—Elevation of the eyebrows—Opening the mouth—Protrusion of the lips—Gestures accompanying surprise—Admiration—Fear—Terror—Erection of the hair—Contraction of the platysma muscle—Dilatation of the pupils—Horror—Conclusion.
The muscle seemed to contract at the moment of each deep-drawn inspiration; so that it is very doubtful whether the contraction depended at all on the emotion of fear.
Wood informs me that he has found the platysma best developed in persons with thick necks and broad shoulders; and that in families inheriting these peculiarities, its development is usually associated with much voluntary power over the homologous occipito-frontalis muscle, by which the scalp can be moved.

 Acacia Vignettes Articles - My 2¢ - "Why Does the Wind Blow?" by Tom Stewart
Have you ever seen the wind blow without leaves wiggling on the trees?" Though initially caught by surprise that the same data could be interpreted with different assumptions, some thoughtful soul would respond to attempt to prove the Creationist wrong.
The class would respond with an incredulous look that said, "Surely you don't expect us to believe that!" Without betraying a sign of emotion, he would continue, "I can tell by your reaction that you don't believe me. You don't believe that leaves wiggling on trees make the wind blow, but you are wrong.
The Creationist would respond in mock surprise, "That's wrong!

 SPLICEDwire "Raising Helen" movie review (2004) "Raising Helen" review, Garry Marshall, Kate Hudson, John Corbett
PS: Attached to "Raising Helen" is a surprise additional pleasantry -- a spectacular, surreal Disney cartoon short featuring a fat feline in a pet store window who pays a high price for taunting hungry alley cats.
And when our heroine finally feels her parental instincts truly click into place, Marshall can't resist falling back on a trite flashback montage of happy moments to shorthand the emotion.
There are other contrivances less successfully camouflaged all throughout the picture, especially relating to Helen's career, which has been knocked off course by her instant motherhood.
