NPR Yesterday: CEO's Voice Can Speak Volumes

Morning Edition co-host Steve Inskeep and NPR's Shankar Vedantam about software that can reportedly detect when a CEO might be trying to hide something during a conference call with investment analysts sent us off on a search for more about the research that Shankar was discussing.
Layered Voice Analysis technology, according to researchers from Duke University and the University of Illinois, seems to be able to pick up on the "vocal dissonance markers" in the tone of a CEO's voice that signal he or she might be shading the truth, trying to not say something or even lying. 

Listen to the interview.

Thermal Imaging Lie Detectors Will Be Used to Spot Signs of Deception in UK Airports

The thermal imaging cameras are designed to pick up subtle changes in a person’s temperature – usually increased blood flow and more heat around the eyes – that might indicate they are not telling the truth.


The system is based on Hasan Ugail's work, who is a professor of visual computing at UK's University of Bradford. 


What they are doing right is not disclosing which airport or how the system will be utilized- Unlike here in the  US, where the TSA released press releases informing everybody, including the terrorist, that the latest tool will be tested at Logan Airport in Boston...

Voice Stress Detector- Man who took on the Mafia: The truth about Italy's gangsters

To learn more about Roberto Saviano, read this article.

I was asked by a reader to examine the below video.  I am not fluent in Italian, but after a few overseas assignments, I like to examine things from a purely body language and voice analysis perspective. 

Here is the video:


I can tell you he fully rehearsed what he said.  His gestures are NOT rehearsed and display confidence (for instance, in the way he holds his forefinger against his thumb when making a precise points) in his words. 

There were times when Roberto exhibited high stress levels in his voice when talking about certain subjects; and often during pauses he exhibited pacifying gestures (rubbing head and neck). 

Now onto the voice stress analyzer results:
Normal disclaimer, voice stress analysis is not an exact science and the results are much debated. It is only one tool that an investigator uses. The results can only help define the investigation and voice stress analysis is not meant to solely determine innocence, guilt, or deception.

  • The subject was NOT EXCITED at all during the conversation.
  • The subject was CONFUSED during much of the conversation.
  • The subject was HIGHLY CONFUSED from time to time.
  • HIGH STRESS was detected from time to time.
  • It looks like the subject didn't want to talk about some of the issues.
  • The subject was truthful and only a few inaccuracies and deceptions were detected.
Truthful: FINAL RISK LEVEL: 0.9%
