A new device is being held to detect deception by accurately reading eye behavior. Broadway World.com comments on this non-invasive lie detection method called EyeDetect.
Scientists at Utah based company Conversus, which invented the EyeDetect and the computerized polygraph, claim that their device can detect whether a person is being honest or is lying through subtle changes in the behavior of the human eye due to increased cognitive load.
Will this device replace the current polygraph or surpass it and be admitted into courts of law ?
Probably not anytime soon. EyeDetect monitors the eye behavior of individuals using a high-speed eye tracker to measure subtle changes and then combines the measures in a mathematically optimal manner to detect deception.
