They Know When You're Lying!

From here:

The computerised system uses a simple video camera, a high-resolution thermal imaging sensor and a suite of algorithms. Researchers say the system could be a powerful aid to security services. It successfully discriminates between truth and lies in about two-thirds of cases, said lead researcher Professor Hassan Ugail from Bradford University....

...This new approach builds on years of research into how we all unconsciously, involuntarily reveal our emotions in subtle changes of expression and the flow of blood to our skin.

...So far, the team has only tested its lie detector on willing volunteers rather than in a real-life, high stakes situation...."In a real, high-stress situation, we might get an even higher success rate," noted Professor Ugail, who believes he'll eventually be able to detect around 90% of those who are lying, which is similar to the performance of the polygraph.

Fun Facts: did you know that the inventor of the polygraph (John Augustus Larson) was the writer/creator of Wonder Woman and her lasso of truth? He was also involved in a very happy, domestic BDSM threesome with his wife and another woman (see? This thread is relevant to Erotic and writing!)

Your're mistaken in your facts, 3. William Moulton Marston created 'Wonder Woman' with his wife Elizabeth under the nom de plume of 'Charles Moulton. He was in a polyamorous relationship with his wife and their lover Olive. After Charles died, Elizabeth and Olive continued to live together until Olive died, then Elizabeth died at the age of 100.

Marston, along with Elizabeth, was the creator of the 'systolic blood pressure test' which heavily influenced the development of the 'Lie Detector' by Larson.

Wonder Woman and her 'Golden Lasso of Truth' is an early example of bondage in the comics.

That's what I get for trusting the internet! I knew he had some connection to the Lie Detector. Thanks for correcting that for me.

I'm surprised the polygraph is that unreliable. I thought it was more like 98% or so. I can see why the results of one are not allowed in court.

if I am not mistaken a good sociopath can pass one anytime...

You are correct, which is why Lie Detector results are inadmissible in court. Anyone who has sufficient control of their body or has no guilt or shame about what they've done can pass the test with flying colors.

A standard trick is to put a tack under your toe inside your shoe and every time they ask a question, push down on it. The pain throws your reactions all over the map so that there is no way the operator can tell what's going on.

Ouch! Or you can ask a few recall questions and see which direction the eyes move when a person is recalling something. Then ask them a truth/lie question. The creative side of a person's brain is different from the recall side of the brain, and when someone is "fibbing" their eyes go a different direction. It's very slight, but watch politicians somtime and see. (The media does a good job of zooming in on faces. It's entertainment just to see how much they are "creating.") Bill Clinton did it very obviously when asked if he had sexual relations with Ms. Monica. Very obvious that time.

he was lying??? I believed him when he said he'd never had sexual relations with ms. monica lewinski... of course he did ask for the definition of 'sexual relations'

Wild Bill also asked what the definition of "is" is. Now, if that isn't a man keenly in search of a loophole to wriggle through, I don't know what is. Of course, Clinton's reputation preceded him. if Gee Doubleya had asked what "is" is, that would have been because he truly did not know the meaning of the word.

But would they be able to use such trick to lie on this test? I'm not so sure. It involves checking out flushing and other things that we can't quite control so much. Barring, of course, being a psychopath and sincerely believing your telling the truth even when you're lying.
