deception detection

Deception detection is the process of identifying whether someone is being dishonest or misleading in their statements or behavior. It often involves analyzing verbal and non-verbal cues, such as inconsistencies in their story, body language, or tone of voice. Techniques may include behavioral analysis, polygraph tests, or interviewing strategies designed to elicit truthful responses. While some methods claim high accuracy, human judgment and contextual factors play significant roles, making deception detection complex and not always reliable. Overall, it's a field that seeks to understand how to differentiate truth from lies in communication.
