certain gestures across human cultural groups. Paul Ekman's work at the
University of San Francisco has found that certain simple facial
expressions, e.g. mad or happy, can be understood from Papua New Guinea
to Moscow.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/08/gestures-of-pri.html"><P>No cultural differences were observed among competitors from
different countries and, aside from the shaking of the fists after a
loss, sighted and blind athletes displayed remarkably similar nonverbal
behavior.<BR /> </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/08/gestures-of-pri.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/blog.wired.com/img/DE90A4F9-C367-4F20-B84D-58B44926539E" alt="Blindfigures" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D1CC8D1F-DE5B-44DC-A65C-5D788ED70391/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
