There are many law enforcement officers who have been trained and are continuing to be trained that by looking at the eye movements of the individual they are talking with it is possible to tell when the individual is lying and when they are telling the truth. This is bases upon NLP (Neurolinguistic Programing) which is a great tool for communication and certain types of therapy, but it is NOT effective in detecting deception. There have been many studies which have tested this theory, and none of them have supported the belief that NLP and certain eye movements (left/right) are indicative of deception.
