How does she spot lies?

When Eyes for Lies watches a person talk, she absorbs what that person is saying along with how they are feeling and acting.  She concurrently absorbs the person's:

• pattern of speech

• words that are spoken

• tone of voice/pitch/speed/inflection

• facial expressions

• mood/demeanor

• character

• personality attributes

• emotions (revealed and concealed)

• attire

• behavior/mannerisms/habits

• reactions as well as body movements

Eyes for Lies has a deep understanding of human behavior.  She is naturally able to correlate all the data she is absorbing and pinpoint inconsistencies in fact, emotion, behavior and character that should be consistent if someone is honest.  While it sounds easy, the process is quite complex.  Eyes for Lies believes this process is innate.
 

“They [wizards] seem to have templates of people that they use to make sense of the behavioral deviations they observe,” says [Dr. Maureen] O’Sullivan. So it is not a set of disembodied cues, but embedded behaviors that are consistent with each other as well as with the kind of person exhibiting them (source).” 

"Our wizards are extraordinarily attuned to detecting the nuances of facial expressions, body language and ways of talking and thinking. Some of them can observe a videotape for a few seconds and amazingly they can describe eight details about the person on the tape," says Dr. Maureen O'Sullivan of the University of San Francisco (source).
 

Eyes for Lies is NOT psychic

There is nothing magical nor mysterious about how Eyes for Lies does this. Scientists have studied her and this ability, and realize there are concrete clues to deception.  The mystery is why don't most people see these clues?

Dr. Ekman says, "We're still trying to find out how in the world did they learn this skill? Are they the sort of Mozarts of lie detection; they just had it?"

Eyes for Lies believes her uncanny ability is directly related to her deep understanding of human nature.  When she meets a new person, she has an immediate, innate framework that helps her understand others. She calls it paralleling.
