সারসংক্ষেপ	Facial electromyography (EMG) measures affect by recording the tiny electrical signals produced by facial muscles, providing an objective, continuous index of emotional valence and intensity that can detect reactions too subtle or fleeting to produce a visible expression. Cacioppo, Petty, Losch, and Kim showed in 1986 that activity over two muscle regions differentiates affect: the corrugator supercilii (the brow muscle that furrows in frowning) increases with negative affect, while the zygomaticus major (the cheek muscle that pulls in smiling) increases with positive affect, and amplitudes scale with the intensity of the reaction. Because surface electrodes capture muscle activity even when no overt expression occurs, facial EMG offers a sensitive, hard-to-fake measure of evaluative responses widely used in research on attitudes, emotion, persuasion, and social perception, often paired with reaction-time and self-report measures.	The reverse correlation task is a data-driven method for visualizing the mental representations people hold of social categories and traits, such as what a trustworthy, dominant, or criminal face looks like in the mind's eye. Adapted to social perception by Dotsch and Todorov in 2012, the technique superimposes random visual noise on a base face to create many slightly different images, and asks participants to repeatedly choose, from pairs, the image that best fits a target trait. By averaging the noise patterns from the chosen images, the researcher produces a classification image -- a picture that reveals the visual features the participant's mind associates with the trait, without the experimenter ever specifying those features in advance. Independent raters then judge the classification image to confirm it conveys the intended trait. The method made it possible to render otherwise hidden mental representations and biases as concrete, testable images.
