# Use Microexpression Training

Microexpression Training is a short reading drill. You watch fleeting facial
cues and name the emotion — the same quick flashes people show in real
conversation before they settle their face.

## What you practice

You work through **10** cues. For each one, choose among anger, contempt,
disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise. You get accuracy, average
response time, and a per-cue breakdown when you finish.

## Difficulty

Before you start, choose how long each cue stays on screen:

- **Easy** — the expression stays visible; you can **Replay**
- **Medium** — about a **500ms** flash; you can **Replay**
- **Hard** — about a **250ms** flash; no replay

## Start Microexpression Training

1. Open **Menu**, then **Library**. Choose the **Training** filter and start
   **Microexpression Training**. You can also ask Dale.
2. Choose **Easy**, **Medium**, or **Hard**.
3. Choose **Start Easy Training**, **Start Medium Training**, or **Start Hard
   Training**.
4. For each cue, pick the emotion you saw.
5. When you see **Training Complete**, review your score.

Choose **Play Again** for another set, or **Send to Coach** when you want Dale
to see the result.

## What Dale receives

**Send to Coach** shares a short summary: difficulty, how many you got right,
average time, and which emotions you missed. The practice uses catalog cue
images — your camera stays off.
