Eye movement: We move our eyeballs to stimulate different parts of the brain. When the eyes roll upwards to the left, they are recording memories and probably being honest. But when their eyes roll up to the right, they are stimulating imagination, and are probably going to lie to you. Nose touching: This is a typical sign of lying. When we lie, our noses do get a little bigger and this is known as the Pinocchio Effect. It only has a tiny effect, but enough to make the nose itchy. Therefore when people keep scratching their nose, it could be a sign that they are lying. Mouth or face covering: This is a childish bit of body language, but some still desire to cover their face, particularly when telling the part of the lie they are most worried about. |
