About

My name is Sachchidanand R. Swami or in short Sachin R. Swami. I'm a human behavior researcher, analyst, profiler and the chief writer of this website. I'm one of the very few individuals from India, Indian sub-continent and/or South Asia to hold two internationally acclaimed human intelligence (humint) certificates, first for facial micro-expressions detection with the Expert level and second for facial subtle expressions detection with Proficient level.

This website has been ranked among the (World's) 10 Best Body Language Bloggs and Websites, voted twice by the international readers, followers and subscribers of the world’s one of the most popular news aggregator applications Feedly since August 2021. It has been ranked along with websites and blogs run by Dr. Paul Ekman (Group), Prof. Dr. David Matsumoto and Sir Joe Navarro (my respected guru).

I possess a good amount of experience in behavioral analysis, behavioral profiling and behavioral prediction by using some of the established principles, laws, rules and facts related to human biology, physiology, psychology, evolution, neuroscience, sociology, history and physical environment. Analyzing human behavior or behavioral data contextually, critically and deeply is my specialty or forte.

"Sachchidanand (himself) wouldn't admit publicly but (according to me) he is one of the world's top 20 nonverbal communication experts."

I've conducted several critical case studies, thought experiments, scenario analyses, behavioral predictions and personality profiling. I've helped and guided people with my own analyses, assessments and predictions. Also, I do voluntarily and regularly communicate and share my articles, thoughts, insights, questions and observations with many leading institutions, universities, researchers, educators, trainers and field experts on a regular basis, by sending emails.

As an independent researcher, I’ve been sharing my own assessments, thoughts, insights and articles with many academic professors, academic researchers, professionals and experts for years. Also, some shared analyses and assessments have been acknowledged by leading researchers, scientists and institutes from some of the top universities like Harvard University, Stanford University and University of California at Berkeley (UCB).

Although I've studied, researched and written about different topics of human (social) behavior, body language and nonverbal communication; detecting or picking facial micro-expressions, facial compound expressions, facial subtle-expressions and tiny or subtle variations in well-known, established and recognized cues are my areas of great interest, attention and specialty. However, it doesn't end there.

Along with the acknowledgements from academics and researchers, many articles published on this website have been cited (and mentioned as reference) by students, fellows, faculty members, trainers, teachers, lecturers and researchers in their own literature, including Post-Doctoral, Doctoral (Ph. D.), Master and Bachelor thesis, from following universities, academies, institutions, schools and programs:

In January 2025, I was invited to give an hour long lecture on Catching Liars through Body Language at Gandhinagar (Gujarat, India) campus of the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) by Dr. Asha Srivastava. Currently, she's serving as the dean of School of Behavioural Forensics (SBF). She's the former director of Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), at New Delhi (India).

The world's leading, senior-most and critically acclaimed Nonverbal Communication expert and my highly respected guru Sir Joe Navarro (the retired special agent, counter-intelligence supervisor and spy-catcher who served in the American Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for 25 years) has been a great source of guidance, inspiration and insights.

Perhaps, this is the first ever blogging website being hosted in (American) English, solitarily hosted by an independent Indian, South Asian or Asian researcher. This website is entirely dedicated to and focused on human behavior, facial expressions, body language, social interactions and nonverbal communication with the sole purpose of educating and spreading general awareness.

I've been maintaining this entire website by myself, since its very humble beginning in September 2010. Valuable inputs, topics, clues, insights, observations and suggestions from my very close friends, family members, colleagues, specialists, observers and experts have helped this website in becoming well-known globally and reputed among many, especially the students.

You can contact me if you want me to write an article to publish in a newspaper or a magazine. Also, if you're a academic student then you can ask me questions by sending an email. However, I don't allow to publish the answers given by me until it becomes absolutely necessary to do so.

You may contact me for giving a lecture or a presentation. I've already given a few, including the one given at National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU).

Also, you may contact me through email, add/follow/connect with me on social media platforms or join my Facebook page.
