I’ve been getting better at telling when people lie to me, if I can see their face. I’m not great at it. Just better than I used to be. Most people really suck at lying though. It’s hard to hide. People look up and to the right because they’re thinking of a story.

I don’t think looking to the left or to the right is a sign of lying either. I think it’s a sign that you’re thinking. People usually block the data streaming into their heads when they think by looking away from faces or blocking their ears.

But if someone is thinking when you ask them a simple question, it suggests they’re hiding something. Or trying to. Either because they don’t want to hurt your feelings or because they think you’ll misunderstand. Sometimes because they don’t know either.

Interesting, thanks! Speculating: perhaps looking up/right is a sign that *general* narrative assembly is occurring (ie from memory or imagination), but the original experimenters were too-specific in identifying it as *fictional* narrative assembly.

Its just that most people look to the right when imagining something, and some people look to the left instead. Like right-left handed. So we have to find other clues
