Why tracking physiological changes fails to help us detect a lie
In short: Humans encounter between 10 and 200 lies every single day. This video explores why traditional methods of detecting deception are unreliable and how communications science offers a more direct way to analyze the lies themselves.
Historically, researchers have attempted to identify deception by monitoring the physiological changes that occur in a person while they are lying. However, these physical indicators have proven to be unreliable tools for detection. Noah Zandan suggests that instead of looking at the teller, we should use communications science to analyze the structure and content of the lies themselves.
