adjustyour reflectionto makeyoulook—and hencefeel-happier encouragingyou tolike whatyou see.Thats the idea behindthe Emotion Evoking Systemdeveloped byShigeo Yoshida and colleaguesat the University ofTokyo inJapan.The systemcan manipulate,or inother words,control youremotions andpersonal preferencesby presentingyou with an imageof your ownsmiling or frowning face.The principlethat physiologicalchanges candrive emotionalones thatlaughter comes before happiness,rather thanthe otherwayaround-isawell-established idea.The researcherswanted tosee ifthis ideacould beused tobuild acomputer systemthat manipulateshow youfeel.The systemworksby presentingthe userwith aweb-camera imageof hisor herface asif theywere lookingin amirror.The imageis thensubtlyaltered

appearedtosmile,people reportedthat theyfelt happier.On theother hand,when theimage wasgiven asad expression,they reportedfeeling lesshappy.Yoshidaandhis colleaguestested whethermanipulating the

were more likelyto reportthat theyliked it,and thosethat sawthemselves notsmiling wereless likely.“The systemcould beused tomanipulate consumers,impressions ofproducts/5say theresearchers.For
