Deception analysis usingMouse tracking Agrim Gupta
Basics • People hesitate when lying • This shows up in their body movements • Polygraphs measure impulses • Mouse tracking measures the entire flow • This is much difficult to understand than a simple polygraph • Mouse tracking is economical too
The experiment • Two sets of 14-15 ‘obvious’ questions • Participants are made to sit in front of a computer, made to answer with a mouse • One set is truthfully answered, the participant lies in the other one • Participant is not told the objective of the experiment until its done
Highlights • Questions are randomized • Choice for truth-set or lie-set is random • Individual and Global calibration curve give greater flexibility in analysis • Mouse tracking has better potential of being accurate as people are comfortable with it
Drawbacks • One-sided questions – software limitation • Test can be easily faked • Some questions may have doubtful answers • Different people have different mouse movement expertise • Questions need more variety and need to be more in number
Scope for Improvement • A better software that allows more flexibility and is more stable • Additional support from eye-tracking data • Clarity in questions needed • A standard desk with standard mouse support can be arranged for • Questions should have randomized placements of options
