Lying is a phenomenon that has been omnipresent in our lives since we were children. We are surrounded by lies in our everyday life and perhaps precisely because of their constant presence we often have difficulty detecting them. We use a variety of methods to find out if our peers are lying to us or telling the truth, but none of these methods are accurate enough to differentiate lies from the truth with certainty. Verbal and non-verbal methods of lying are the most common subject of research, but human nature cannot be reduced to statistics, and for that very reason it is almost impossible to find out if someone is lying to us or telling the truth. Body language or the way we tell a lie or truth depends on parameters such as the culture we come from, our character and the emotional state we are currently in, so it is very difficult to choose the method that will give us the best insight into the truth, i.e. a lie. However, with the development of technology, the field of lie detection is advancing at a rapid pace, and research to date has optimistically indicated that over time, technology will be more successful at detecting lies than humans are. Despite this, scientists continue to upgrade their research in the area of verbal and nonverbal indicators of lying. Lying continues to fascinate us and as individuals we want to be as successful as possible in detecting lies, sometimes out of curiosity, and sometimes this is expected of us because of the nature of the work we do. In any case, interest in this area continues to grow, and we are getting closer every day to a technology that, combined with our skills, will be able to successfully detect a lie.
