Scientists Reveal Why The Left Side Of Your Face Is Perfect For Selfies by Colossusgist(m): 3:45pm On May 11, 2017
When viewing faces people report the left side of the face to be more expressive than the right, according to a study recently published in Brain and Cognition.

Facial expressions are mostly controlled by an area of the brain known as the premotor cortex which sends signals to other parts of the brain. Control of the lower two thirds of the face is contralateral, meaning that the right hemisphere controls the left side of the face and the left hemisphere has control of the right side of the face. The right hemisphere of the brain is reported to be more involved in emotion processing compared to the left, leading to greater emotional expression being displayed on the left side of the face.

It has been reported that when posing for a portrait or photograph, as humans we prefer to turn so that our left side is being offered, this effect is seen across males and females. One explanation for this is that humans instinctively know that their left side expresses more emotion. This phenomenon is known as the ‘left cheek bias’.

Although it is understood that the left side of the face is more expressive, little is known about what characteristics of the face cause us to perceive more emotion.
