 You're watching Fox 26, your hometown news connection and now Fox 26 news at 10 o'clock. Just one look. That's all one company says. It's new computer needs to know if you're lying. Sounds like a sci-fi plot. We're told this computer just needs to look you dead in the eye. Reporter Gabby Hart from our sister station in Las Vegas put it to the test to see if it really can spot lying eyes. A new form of lie detection claims it can see the truth. There are markers in the eyes that are able to accurately determine if an individual is being deceptive. Neil Harris is the vice president of Converis, the company that created this new technology called eye detect. It uses only the eyes to determine if a person is lying. When a human being is being deceptive that there are these micro dilations of the pupils. It's the extra mental energy that it takes to be deceptive. Eye detect has been in the work since 2003. Only taking 30 minutes to complete this new testing technology could be faster and more efficient than the old school polygraph. Its creators argue that eye detect may have the edge because it isn't influenced by any human bias. So by removing the human element we believe we can make the assessment of credibility far more forensic in nature. Ron Slay is a security consultant who administers polygraph exams. He says in his 40 years of experience he's seen all forms of deception and he thinks it takes more than a computer system and answering a few questions to detect a lie. You can't automate the human mind. We wanted to put both methods to the test so I sat down to see which machine would best read my lie. I'm in the hot seat. First we put the standard polygraph to the test. Slay asked me two questions that were simple enough to answer honestly. No I want everybody to watch the blue line. Is today Tuesday? Yes. But before he even finished asking me the third question. At work did you ever look at a boss with sincere eyes when you knew the reaction is already over. They took off and it's barely coming back again. Then we tested eye detect. Harris had me write down a number between two and eight and then hide it. I chose the number seven. The examiner told me to lie about my number to the machine but to tell the truth on all the other questions. The eye detect system calibrated my eyes and then monitored my pupil dilation. I did not choose the number seven. Eight was not the number that I picked. Look at the spike on the seven. Safe to say that I got caught lying or preparing to lie on both tests. But Slay says it can sometimes be harder to catch the people you want to catch because they have their own truths. They're not really answering your questions at all. They are answering what they perceive to be your questions. Slay and Harris agree that both eye detect and polygraphs can get it wrong sometimes. There will be some false positives and false negatives with eye detect as it exists today. But Harris says the beauty of computer algorithms is that they get smarter over time. I trust computers and algorithms far more than I would another human being. Still the polygraph remains a powerful detection tool not likely to be replaced anytime soon. I think it's the age old argument of man against the machine. Big Time Technology company Apple has taken notice of eye detect. Apple purchased the sensor technology that's used to calibrate and read the eyes. Does this mean our iPhones could eventually become handheld lie detectors catching a liar with just a glance at your phone. Well that's up to Apple to decide. I'm Gabby Hart, News 3. Now eye detect says one end goal in mind is to help give law enforcement the upper hand and another tool to help fight crime. Pretty interesting stuff. Yeah, I'd say. Pretty very.
