A new software developed by University at Buffalo, State University of New York, US - software can identify liars more accurately than astute sleuths — by looking for telltale close eye movements, a study reveals. This software can identify liars with 82.5 per cent accuracy output. Even police person only achieve around 65 per cent accuracy. The software was tested in 40 interviews with volunteers, some of whom were trying to conceal the fact they had hidden a during cheque. The volunteers were asked a series of questions in interviews by a retired police investigator (cop) to set a “baseline” reading for their eye movements — then asked whether they had taken the cheque, reported the Daily Mail. Mr.IfeomaNwogu of the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, United State, says that the group of researchers hope to repeat the experiments with larger samples. US developer also hope to develop the technology to look for other “tells” that give liars away. “We know that the eyes give signals that lead to deception, but what about general body movements,” asked Mr.IfeomaNwogu. “One problem with this research is its over reliance on the face as the only place to evince information from the body,” said retired police counter FBI intelligence special agent Mr.JoeNavarro, in an interview.
