Subconscious Lie Detection Better Than Conscious

A study out of the University of California, Berkeley, found that we are better at picking up deception with our subconscious brain. It appears when we consciously try to spot a lie, we interfere with our innate system.
You know the old saying, “Don’t second guess yourself” or “Trust your first gut instinct”. There is definitely something to this.
Dr. David Eagleman, a neuroscientist, out of Baylor University, says our conscious brain is only a small portion of our brain. In his terms, its the “broom closet” of our mind. Most of what goes on in our head is unknown to us, though it is the engine by which we move and make decisions. It happens as Eagleman says “under the hood”–under your conscious awareness.
So the next time you wonder what is going on, and you don’t know for sure, you are probably best to trust your gut instinct rather than question it.

Reading Foreign Faces
As Westerners, when we look at people from the East, we often struggle to identify different nationalities. It’s more challenging for us to identify Taiwanese features and distinguish them from say Japanese or Vietnamese features. It’s even difficult at times to distinguish the differences in facial subtleties of people of the same nationality.
But have you ever wondered if we are equally as challenging to read to Easterners?
We actually are more challenging for them to differentiate for them, too!
Does this surprise you?

Do you find this interesting?
It’s much like meeting a foreigner. You assume “they” have an accent, right? When in reality you BOTH have an accent to each other.

Great 3-day Class in Milwaukee
It’s been an incredible week! I met some exceptional and amazing people! After training several thousand law enforcement professionals across the country, I decided to open my training to the public. I set up the course, got registrations and the class kicked off on Monday! For three days, I talked about human behavior and deception detection in a “master class” at the Milwaukee Hilton Garden Inn.
Participants flew in not only from across the country–New York City, New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago, San Diego, and Denver–but internationally as well coming from as far away as Auckland, New Zealand, and Quebec, Canada!
Everyone in the class was extremely enthusiastic and motivated to learn, and great friendships were formed! We truly had fun and even dined together over lunch all three days!
Thank you to everyone who came!
