Eyes don't lie

It's interesting to see how the police interrogates a suspect in cop shows.Starting with non-accusatory questions, they slowly build up the tension by creating different themes about why the suspect committed the crime,making blatant accusation and threatening then observe the suspect's reactions, both verbal and non-verbal. Sometimes they even incorporate other methods like deception, empathy and torture to lead the suspect into confession.
One of the notable interrogation techniques is known as NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) eye accessing cues that provides information about how a person's thinking by watching their eye movements.
Basically there are 6 main eye directions (assuming the person is facing you)


upper left ,visual construction (VC)
: the person looking up-left is using their imagination to conjure up pictures in their mind. So, you can tell someone is lying when you ask them a memory-based question like "Have you been to New York?"




upper right , visual remembering (VR) : the person looking up-right is retrieving images from their memory, which means their answers are not a mere fabrication.





middle left, auditory construction (AC)
: the person looking into that direction is constructing a sound , that's the direction the person's eye could go to when asked about what someone is going to say






middle Rig
ht , auditory remembering (AR) : this is the direction of remembering a sound when asked about what someone said before







lower left Kinesthetic (k) : this is the direction the eyes go to when someone is thinking about how something makes them feel.





lower right ,auditory digital (AD) : an indication of internal dialog. The person is reciting a conversation in his head.






However, the directions should be reversed if the person is a lefty.

such a simple trick to spot liars..whether accurate or not, it's up to you to find out.
Honestly, i feel like trying it on people around me...so you know what i'm up to if i gaze into your eyes when talking to you. Dun say i didn't warn you...lol

Here's a thought.
Which direction should you look before you answer when your gf/bf asks
Do you love me?
