Lie Detection | Behavioural Analysis in Halle an der Saale

In the 1970s, the psychologist and emotions researcher Prof Dr Paul Ekman revolutionised the understanding of the interplay between emotion and expression by discovering and systematising facial micro-expressions. To examine the emotional background and, above all, the truthfulness of a statement, these minimal facial expressions can be analysed. It is a promising method, because every human being lies. Micro-expressions give us away. They usually occur unnoticed within fractions of a second and can only be controlled with a great deal of disciplined training.

 

Our procedure for analysing micro-expressions and other behavioural characteristics is similar to an interrogation. After the conversation with the person under review, the recorded video material is subjected to a detailed examination, usually with a clear result.

 

Naturally, the analysis of micro-expressions is not infallible. In criminalistics and law, there are no unequivocal items of evidence in any case. Even a confession must, at least in theory, be supported by further circumstantial evidence or proof in order to secure a conviction.

 

To substantiate the overall result, body language and vocal behaviour are incorporated into our analysis.
