A University in Israel has developed new software and an algorithm to detect when someone is lying.
Prof Hanein and colleague Prof Dino Levy lead the team at Tel Aviv University.
They say they have identified two types of liars - those who involuntarily move their eyebrows when they tell a fib, and those that cannot control a very slight lip movement where their lips meet their cheeks.
Their software and its algorithm can now detect 73% of lies and they intend to improve that as they develop the system. "When you try to conceal a lie, one of the things you try to avoid is any sort of body reaction," she told BBC News Online.
Prof Levy added: "But it's very, very hard for you to conceal a lie with this technology."
