Lies discoverer

British scientists have developed a system that lets you know if someone is telling the truth thanks to a sophisticatedfacial scanner . And it is that a simple gesture of our physiognomy reveals everything we want or not say. The face shows a lot of emotions in the form of changes in the expression or the Blood flow , and it is something that escapes our control when we are lying.

The lie detector , developed by researchers from the University of Bradford and Aberystwyth , consists of a video camera and a high definition thermal sensor that read and interpret the changes of temperature , of blood pressure , in the muscles of the face, the movement of eyes , if the Pupils , if one bites or gathers lips , wrinkles the nose, breathe deep, swallow, which may indicate a lie .

The machine was successful in two thirds of the cases analyzed, reported Hassan Ugail , in charge of leading the investigation.

According to the researcher, in a real situation of high stress we can be more successful, because he believes that the system will be able to detect 90% of those who lie, a percentage similar to that obtained by thepolygraph , the instrument most used so far as a lie detector, dating from 1921.

British scientists defend that their invention is less invasive (you do not have to connect cables to the suspect) and their results are obtained in real time.
