To spot a liar

London: If you want to know if a person is telling the truth, keep an eye on the eyes, a new study suggests. For liars blink in different ways during and after uttering a falsehood.

The study, published in the Journal of Non-verbal Behaviour, found that liars blink less than normal during the lie, and then have a flurry up to eight times faster than usual afterwards. The increased mental effort involved in fibbing could be the reason why liars do not blink during the act of lying. — PTI
