Hi Shaun & Colleagues,
My apologies... I didn't realise that the software had been around
since 2000...
I watched a television programme last night about the recent issue of
the software which I found very interesting...and intriguing...hence the
posting.
Well worth a watch as they have been using it for analyzing proven
liars in child abuse and murder cases. They are still experimenting
with it and they say it is up to 80% accurate. However, whether that be
advertisers blurb or optimistic academic professors at Manchester
University seeking funding is another matter. Of course no software is
foolproof, just like any human beings. And, at the moment, evidence
obtained via its use is not admissible in a court of law in the UK.
Some police interviewers are highly trained in behavioural psychology
and observe not only what is being said by interviewees, but their body
language as well, which in the case of lying, often contradicts what is
being said. Also, a lot of interviews are now video-taped and are being
made available for analysis by psychologists who are now experts in the
practice of the art of deception...:-) .
Last night's viewing showed how careful examination of the body language
of interviewees and with analysis of those trained psychologists, could
show up those contradictions, particularly when the tapes were replayed
over and slowed down and body and facial movements were examined in slow
motion and more detail. The addition of the software programme enhanced
the analysis...
Still, even if it is not quite so accurate as they make out, one can see
the direction in which the research is going...

Based on the article there is room for the use case to be modified
therefore the degree of accuracy can be varied, hence the system is
only as reliable as the supplier wants it to be. so it is a long way
from being foolproof.
