Articles on Truth Wizards 

Dr. Maureen O'Sullivan from the University of San Francisco, along with renowned expert Dr. Paul Ekman, completed a scientific study called The Wizards Project, which has identified 50 people with an exceptional ability to spot lies after testing more than 15,000 people.  They call these people "Truth Wizards".  Eyes for Lies is one of the 50 people identified.
