The eyes are the windows to the soul. As such they can 1 if someone is lying, right? Cop shows, advice shows, even some 2 training courses hold that if somebody looks up and to the right, they're probably lying. Up and to the left means they're telling the truth. Now a study says that there is no 3 between eye movement and lying. The work is in the journal Public Library of Science ONE. Researchers tested eye movement and honesty in 4 ways. For example, they tracked the eye movements of subjects who were lying or telling the truth about things they had recently done. There was no 5 between lying and eye direction. The researchers also closely analyzed 52 archived news videos of real people, making a public plea for the safe return of a missing 6 .In half the videos the plea was sincere—but in half there was strong evidence that the speaker was involved in the crime. Again, no eye movement clue was 7 . So when judging the honesty of a speaker, remember: the eyes do not have it.
