after watching 2-3 Episodes they had explained half a dozen 'tells' that I had always picked up on but 1/3rd of the time figured was just me being Paranoid.Lie to Me (styled as Lie to me*) is an American television series that premiered on the Fox network on January 21, 2009. In the show, Dr. Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) and his colleagues in The Lightman Group accept assignments from third parties (commonly local and federal law enforcement), and assist in investigations, reaching the truth through applied psychology: interpreting microexpressions, through the Facial Action Coding System, and body language.
It was like Watching Penn and Teller Explain magic tricks to a magician who had no clue how he pulled the Rabbit out of the Hat.
7 episodes deep I was looking for any information I could find on the Subject of Micro expressions, and Truth Wizards...
The Wizards Project (formerly called the Diogenes Project) was a research project conducted by Paul Ekman and Maureen O'Sullivan that studied the ability of people to detect lies told by others. The project was originally named after the Greek philosopher who would look into people's faces using a lamp, claiming to be looking for an honest man.
A "Truth Wizard" is a person identified in the Wizards Project, who can identify deception with exceptional accuracy of at least 80% or higher, whereas the average person is only as good as a coin toss. No Truth Wizard, however, is 100% accurate. The term "wizard" refers to "a person of amazing skill or accomplishment".
In my search for info about this I found that eye speed is very important. on an unrelated sight I found an 'eye test' of sorts. it is assumed that the human eye can only register info at 20fps, but notices deviance at 30-60fps. the test I took was on registering the deviance and most people can only register it at 15-20 fps, I got 37fps which is in the top 1% of everyone that had taken the test. with the equation that posted that means I would notice but not register a deviance at over 70FPS, which also on a side note explains why a monitor with a refresh rate of lower then 60hz gives me a headache.
so Physically I am equipped to see micro expressions but am I capable of understanding them.
and what does this mean for past, self explored, and unnamed Psychosis?
Very well written baby.
