Welcome to The Lie Lab!

We study deception detection and interviewing practices from social and cognitive perspectives. We are particularly interested in approaches that can be used for training purposes and policy development. Our research team consists of Dr. Amy Leach and a talented group of graduate and undergraduate students. On our website, you can meet the team, learn about our current projects, download our publications, and find out how to become involved in our research.
