In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

The facts and follies of lie detection | Andre Wang | TEDxAmherstCollege
Impressive speech delivery on a topic that could quickly get boring. You made it fun and, instructive! and that is the truth! …or is it now ?
Very nice job.
So lie detectors are unknowingly lying about their capabilities?
Lie detectors are crap. And not allowed in court in most states.
I went through THREE tests concerning a former friend that fell on my property (stalking) and died later on because of injuries. I didn't even know he was here, they found him the next morning at bottom of stairs on side of property.
First test, inconclusive. 2nd test, inconclusive. THIRD test… "Well, we KNOW you had something to do with his death".
I said, "Yeah ! Because the constantly drunk and high dude came to my place and fell down the stairs in the dark !".
Now what really gets me… this was during the Holidays… "they" never got back to me to say, well… anything. So I was unnecessarily nervous for months.
Fuckers.
hey ,if anyone else is searching for catch a cheater try Sarparder Catch Cheats Starter (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my colleague got great results with it.
Just Hang on a minute? What exactly were the 'truths' or 'lies' propounded by the researcher in the experiment? Don't you think these might have a bearing on your results? Furthermore your results might be quite different outside the cultural conserve of academia. I do not think they can be necessarily generalised to folk in general at all.
Andre Wank's talk is very good.
It would be great if you posted some references. I'd love to use these studies in my essay
Are there experiments about how accurately a wife can detect her husband is lying? I bet there will be some interesting results.
This is interesting. My son is Aspergers he would tip you off as lying but he isnt. Oddly when he does I really didnt know. If you generalize then you will only get a portion right
