In this episode, Converus Advisory Board Member Pamela Meyer (author of "Liespotting") discusses lies and liars, as well as a new technology EyeDetect®, by Converus® (converus.com). The EyeDetect discussion begins at 51.12 in this video.
EyeDetect is an accurate, nonintrusive lie detection test that detects deception in 15-30 minutes by analyzing eye and other behaviors. It’s the first breakthrough in effectively uncovering lies since the polygraph was invented nearly 100 years ago. EyeDetect is also the world’s first ocular-motor deception test.
If your job has anything to do with credibility assessment or screening or investigations (whether you work in law enforcement, the government, human resources, or as a private investigator) or if you’re simply interested in lie detection, then please SUBSCRIBE to this KZbin channel.
How does it work? EyeDetect uses a high-definition eye-tracking camera to monitor involuntary eye behavior - including pupil dilation, blink rate and fixations - to detect deception while a person answers true/false questions on a computer screen. The test takes 15-30 minutes and provides a “truthful” or “deceptive” score within 5 minutes. Polygraph exams, the long-time standard for lie detection, require a trained examiner, take at least 90 minutes to conduct, and reports can sometimes take hours to receive.
Field tests show EyeDetect is 86-90% accurate. When used in conjunction with the polygraph, and when both tests have the same result, the confidence in the test outcome can be as high as 98%. This is unheard of in the lie detection industry.
Most companies, in countries where it’s legal to administer lie detection tests in the workplace, use EyeDetect for pre-employment screening of job candidates and periodic testing of current employees. EyeDetect is not only ideal for screening job candidates in government, law enforcement and corrections, but also for screening visa applicants, immigrants, sex offenders, probationers and parolees. For example, an important potential national security application of EyeDetect is screening those entering the U.S. from a foreign country.
The main benefits of EyeDetect include:
• 100% unbiased
• High accuracy
• Fast (only 15-30 minutes for a test)
• Nonintrusive
• Cost-effective
• Scalable
• Portable
After the concept was conceived in 2002, a team of five scientists from the University of Utah spent more than 13 years fine-tuning this new ocular-motor based lie detection technology. Two of the five scientists, Drs. David Raskin and John Kircher, are not only world-renowned polygraph experts, but also credited with inventing the computerized polygraph.
