Although microexpressions are analogous to longer-lasting ones in many ways, it is in their differences that much of the latest exciting science dwells. Humintell’s Drs. David Matsumoto and Hyisung Hwang recently published an analysis of a major study, Shen et al. (2016), which sought to contrast fleeting microexpressions from those that lasted longer than 200…
This special blog showcases an interview recently done with Humintell’s own Dr. David Matsumoto. The online behavior lab, Science of People, asked him to delve into the question of how we can use observational skills to determine other people’s intent and to assess the possibility of deception, as well as his own personal background. Science…
Finally! The first scientific evidence that microexpressions are a Key to Deception Detection! While there has been a general consensus that microexpressions play a significant role in deception detection for decades, in reality there had never been a research study published in a peer-reviewed, scientific journal that documented that claim. Until now. New and exciting…
A great deal of popular discussion of how to detect deception rests on specific, isolated factors like eye contract, but the reality is a bit more complex. This is the case that Humintell’s Drs. David Matsumoto and Hyisung Hwang made in a 2017 study published in the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology. In this…
Is deception detection easier when we have verbal cues? Could it even be harder? A lot of sensory input goes into our ability to detect deception, but it is hard to tease out the role of verbal and nonverbal cues. We train you to look for both, but a new study seeks to break down the question…
