Detecting Deception


In Malcolm Gladwell's Talking to Strangers, Gladwell has some fun anecdotes explaining how experts and trained professionals were deceived by liars.  Gladwell champions some relatively weak theories explaining how and why we are so terrible at detecting deception.  Recently, researchers at (you can't make this up!) the "Lie Lab" have published a fantastic comic, a youtube video, and research paper explaining that going deep into details is the most reliable method of probing for deception.

Comics are underrated as the most approachable and effective communications medium.
