Lie detection by a camera!

Man is the only creature that blushes, or needs to, said Mark Twain. If blushing can be taken as an index of lying, then liars are in trouble indeed. Researchers at Mayo clinic in Minnesota in the US have developed a high-definition thermal imaging camera which scans the face of the person who’s being interrogated.

This movement is caught by the camera and often proves decisive in nabbing criminals at check-in counters at airports, in courtrooms, and so on. The test results are pretty impressive—up to 75 per cent of the guilty people were caught red-handed. This camera is much more faster and easier to use than other methods like Polygraph tests which are used nowadays. How will the liars (and criminals) avoid this one?

  1. I don’t think so. You have to revise your looks. In general your blog is good, but sometimes your posts are creepy.
