Tech Knows You Are Lying!

Can you tell when someone is lying? Scientists say people are not very good at guessing who is lying and who is telling the truth. 科學家說，人類不太會分辨別人是不是在說謊。 But computers are very good at finding liars. 但是電腦就有辦法。 One new computer uses a special sticker. You put the sticker on a person's face, and the sticker can feel very small movements on their face. 有一種新的電腦用特別的貼紙可以感覺臉上細微的動作。 The sticker sends the info to the computer and… BOOM. Caught you! 就被抓到了。 And the computer is correct more than 70% of the time! 電腦抓到你說謊的正確率有百分之七十這麼高 70%。 That's a lot! The clues the computers find are too small for you and me to see… but the computer catches them. 這些細微的動作人類看不出來，但是電腦可以。 Maybe in the future, your mom and dad will have a computer that can check to see if you are lying!
