Eye Movement and Direction and How it Can Reveal the Truth or a Lie

When asked a question a “normally organized” right-handed person looks (from your viewpoint, looking at them):

looking up and to the left

Up and to the Left
Indicates: Visually Constructed Images (Vc)
If you asked someone to “Imagine a purple buffalo”, this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they “Visually Constructed” a purple buffalo in their mind.

looking up and to the right

Up and to the Right
Indicates: Visually Remembered Images (Vr)
If you asked someone to “What color was the first house you lived in?”, this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they “Visually Remembered” the color of their childhood home.

To the Left
Indicates: Auditory Constructed (Ac)
If you asked someone to “Try and create the highest the sound of the pitch possible in your head”, this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they “Auditorily Constructed” this this sound that they have never heard of.

eyes looking right

To the Right
Indicates: Auditory Remembered (Ar)
If you asked someone to “Remember what their mother’s voice sounds like “, this would be the direction their eyes moved in while thinking about the question as they “Auditorily Remembered ” this sound.

eyes down and to the left

Down and to the Left

The Gist of it . . .
How this information is used to detect lies:
Example: 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.

Stephen Hawking can be pretty funny.

Despite the teleconferenced video and the flat tone of Hawking’s synthesized computer voice, his outspokenness and humor shone through as lively as ever. The highlight was a recap of Hawking’s favorite answers to frequently asked questions — some of which drew so much applause from the Seattle crowd that Bristol, the master of ceremonies, occasionally had to repeat the answers. Some examples:

  • What did he think of “The Simpsons” TV show, which has had Hawking as an animated guest star? “It’s the best thing on American TV.”
  • What was his view of the Bush administration’s limits on human embryonic stem-cell research: “America will be left behind if it doesn’t change policy.”
  • What did he think of the program to send American astronauts back to the moon? “Stupid,” he answered. “Sending politicians would be much cheaper, because you don’t have to bring them back.”
  • How high is Hawking’s IQ? The physicist replied that he didn’t know. “People who boast about their IQ are losers,” he said.
  • Which late personage would he rather meet, Isaac Newton or Marilyn Monroe? “Marilyn,” Hawking said. “Newton seems to have been an unpleasant character.”
