Abstract
Deception is a very typical aspect of human behavior. People exhibit very speciVc physical, mental and emotional activities when hey are telling a lie. Common traits are hesitation, stammering, stalling, looking in the void etc. However, body motions show as much signs of deception as any other trait. Using mouse tracking, we are trying to understand the diUerences in hand motions when people speak a truth or the lie. Compared to previous studies and and proposed hypothesis, the results do bear signiVcant correlation, and we can safely conclude that people show indirect movements and deviations from the direct paths of body motions when they tell a lie as compared to when they are saying the truth.
