On any given day we’re lied to from 10 to 200 times, and the clues to detect those lies can be subtle and counter-intuitive. Pamela Meyer, author of “Liespotting,” shows the manners and “hotspots” used by those trained to recognize deception — and she argues honesty is a value worth preserving. (Contains mature content)
In this participatory session, you will learn how to tell when someone is lying. Really. As a former CIA Officer with more than 20 years of experience in interviewing, interrogation, and polygraph examination, Susan Carnicero has seen her share of truth avoiders. She has, in fact, developed behavioral screening programs that are used by the federal government. Don’t miss out on learning her methodologies in spotting deception.
Speaker: Susan Carnicero, Author of Spy the Lie and founding partner, Qverity
We hear anywhere from 10 to 200 lies a day. And although we’ve spent much of our history coming up with ways to detect these lies by tracking physiological changes in their tellers, these methods have proved unreliable. Is there a more direct approach? Noah Zandan uses some famous examples of lying to illustrate how we might use communications science to analyze the lies themselves.

There are a number of myths about detecting deception. Fidgeting, looking away, touching your mouth, all of these things are commonly thought to be practices that indicate deception. Jim Clemente, former Supervisory Special Agent for the FBI, explains why that isn’t always the case and how people like him can decipher what these indicators really mean.
Clemente is a retired FBI criminal profiler, and co-host of “Real Crime Profile,” a true crime podcast distributed by Wondery. For more information about his career, go to http://www.jimclemente.com, or follow him on twitter at https://twitter.com/JimClemente
