The only study I know of on psychopaths is Patrick, C.J.; Bradley, M. M. & Lang, P.J. (1993). Emotion in the criminal psychopath: Startle reflex modulation. Journal of Abnormal Psychology. 102(1), 82-92. finding that psychopaths have reduced or absent Startle reflexes on exposure to upsetting images. Could be useful, since the Startle reflex is near-impossible to simulate properly or alternatively inhibit. There's much more research on other mental illnesses, for example: Ekman, P., Matsumoto, D. & Friesen, W.V. (2005). ‘Facial Expression in Affective Disorders.’ What the Face Reveals. P. Ekman and E. Rosenberg. (eds). New York, Oxford, Oxford University Press: 430-439. analyzing patterns of various conditions. Q8. The only study I know of on psychopaths is

This is related in "Telling Lies" by Dr. Paul Ekman, I believe. To sum it up: It's possible but most likely require master zen abilities. Anyway, that's interesting because even actors leak when they are acting. For example, when an actor play a character that has a completely opposite personality than his or her own, microexpressions are sometimes seen and it turns out completely weird (and out of character for the character played). When actors manage to portray expressions correctly, they most often have no glitch or microexpressions, which is equally weird. Q8. Have a look at Ted Bundy... once you get over the "charm" and fast pace, there are some clues leaked. http://eyesforlies.blogspot.com/2009/06/ted-bundy.html Ian. Q5.

You can also practice by watching the news, especially interviews. Lots of people in the public eye are trying to conceal their past actions. We all lie. Q2.
