- dalore 11y agoGreat show. But the article does mention micro-expressions: > Even if we think we have a poker face, we might still give away tiny flickers of movement known as “micro-expressions” that might give the game away. but then goes on to say: > ... this too seems to have been disproved.
- vidarh 11y agoBasically all kinds of things can indicate stress factors. Stress can indicate lying, but it can also indicate a whole host of other things such as someone getting frustrated about the entire situation, or worried that you seem to think they might be lying... You can spot liars based on body language, but then you first need to know how that specific person reacts in normal situations vs. when they're lying.
