My research focuses on detecting lies about intentions. I’m trying to adapt traditional lie detection methods to detect people lying about their intentions. Since your intentions have not happened yet, methods to detect lies about intentions must differ in certain ways from traditional lie detection methods. For example, they cannot rely on knowledge of past events as some traditional lie detection methods do. I study verbal and non-verbal cues to deception and also investigate the efficiency of using computerised reaction time tasks.
