How to Identify A Liar

A new study in London has suggested that a person could differentiate between a lie and the truth by looking into the eyes of the speaker.

The Journal of Non-verbal Behaviour revealed that people blink less than normal when they lie and then follow it up with a flurry of blinks that's upto eight times faster than usual.

The scientist's reasoning for the rare blinking is that greater mental efforts are required for lying as the unreal stories have to be created on the way and expressed in such a way that the listener is convinced. The flurry of blinking was reasoned out to be the real of energy after the tension of lying.

This varying rate of blinking is found only in liars, while the ones who tell the truth have a consistent blink rate. In the coming days, professionals could use blink rates to catch liars.
