In this course, you will sharpen your perception for extremely subtle, barely visible facial micro-movements – expression changes that often occur below the level of conscious awareness. You will learn to detect even minimal emotional signals and to reliably distinguish subtle expressions from social, politeness-related, or habitual facial movement patterns.

The Elite Training deliberately goes beyond basic emotion recognition. It combines high-precision perceptual training with the foundations of nonverbal analysis, the BIG Process of Nonverbal Analysis, and a deeper understanding of emotion dynamics within the Wholeception® Compass by Dr. Dirk W. Eilert. This enables you not only to recognize what becomes visible, but also to understand how emotional processes functionally interact.

The training is based on AI-generated micro-movements with very low intensity, allowing for an exceptionally precise representation of the most subtle emotional traces. Through structured learning modules, analytical deepening, and a wide range of training variations, you will gradually develop the ability to perceive, classify, and responsibly apply even the finest emotional cues in a differentiated manner.

Specialized Theory and Learning Modules
Expand your understanding of minimal intensity levels in facial movements and learn not only to perceive subtle emotional expressions, but also to analyze them systematically. In addition to perceptual training, you will deepen your knowledge of the foundations of nonverbal analysis, the BIG Process, and key concepts related to emotion dynamics, motives, and needs. Interactive quizzes support the structured integration of this knowledge.

AI-Generated Micro-Movements
Benefit from AI-based animations that realistically simulate extremely small, barely perceptible intensities – an approach that is unique worldwide for training ultra-fine perception at the individual perceptual threshold.

924 Training Images – Expandable to Over 17,000
The basic package includes 924 finely graded training images. With optional extensions, you can expand your training set to more than 17,000 images, including profile views (45° and 90°). This keeps your perception flexible and free from recognition effects.

Intercultural Training
Start with 14 personas and expand your training with 64 internationally selected personas. This enables you to recognize subtle emotional cues across cultures and prevents your perception from becoming fixed on specific facial types.

Individually Adjustable Speed
Flexibly adjust the playback speed of micro-movements. Analyze subtle changes in slow motion first, then train perception at a pace closer to real-life interactions.

No Recognition Effect
All training sequences are designed to prevent habituation effects. This keeps your perception open, differentiated, and effective—even during long-term training.

Focus Exercises for Challenging Differentiations
Targeted training modules help you reliably distinguish minimal differences between emotionally similar expressions—especially at very low intensity levels.

Flexible Exercise Editor
Using the Mimikresonanz® exercise editor, you can create customized training sets. This allows you to focus specifically on those emotional domains where you want to further refine your perception – adapted to your individual learning progress.
