Seeing through the face of deception

Abstract: We have developed a high-definition thermal-imaging technique that can detect attempted deceit by recording the thermal patterns from people's faces. This technique has an accuracy comparable to that of polygraph examination by experts and has potential for application in remote and rapid security screening, without the need for skilled staff or physical contact.

However, there is no evidence supporting the assumption that autonomic and somatic responses refl ect intentional deception.…”

“…The study used a mock crime scenario in which participants stabbed a mannequin and stole its money. The papers report different results in regard to the percentage of correctly identifi ed guilty subjects (subjects who lied about their innocence): DoDPI reports 70% (Ryan and Pollina, 2002), Pavlidis (2004) and Pavlidis and Levine (2001) report 78%, and Pavlidis et al (2002) report 75% (this is probably because the papers report a variety of cohort sizes).…”
