Eyemovements and Lying - Crappy i believe anything on the internet style.

This is another example of I've heard about this before but I don't know where the hell it's coming from! Maybe one day the mythbusters will take this on - then the subject will be at rest - haha... really though.. those guys rock.

"Let's say your child ask's you for a cookie, and you ask them "well, what did your mother say?" As they reply "Mom said... yes." they look to the left. This would indicate a made up answer as their eyes are showing a "constructed image or sound. Looking to the right would indicated a "remembered" voice or image, and thus would be telling the truth."

"Many critics believe the above is a bunch of bull***t. In my own experiments I have found these techniques to be more true than not. But, why not find out for yourself? Make up a list of questions that like the sample ones, and give them to your friends/family anyone who would be your guinea pig, observe their eye movements and record the results."

Ohh in the authors own experiments ;)
