A new lie detection test has been developed by British scientists. The test uses a heat camera that records the flow of blood around the eyes, and then feeds the results to a computer programme that monitors tiny changes in facial expressions. A study carried out by researchers at Bradford University found the system to be 70 percent accurate in identifying liars among the 40 participating volunteers.
