Scientists Abbe Macbeth and Jason Rogers have confirmed that Resting Bitch Face is in fact, a real thing. Working for Noldus Information Technology, the duo ran a series of 10,000 neutral images through the software to determine traces of emotion from more than 500 expressive points. Typically, the software detects 97% "neutral" emotion with the remainder representing traces of happiness or anger. In visages that are commonly described as Resting Bitch Faces, the software detected a consistent 6% emotion level and most of it was labeled as contempt.
