Abstract
What if you had a method to detect whether someone is lying with 85% accuracy instantly?
For over 20 years, Professor Kang Lee has been dedicated to researching children's lying. His work has led to a new imaging technology (transdermal optical imaging) that can detect facial blood flow and use this information to model and detect various physiological and psychological states.
Professor Lee's findings on children's lying have contributed to legal reforms in Canada regarding the treatment of child witnesses. His work has been featured in numerous news outlets such as CBC, The New York Times, BBC, and CNN, and his TED talk has garnered over 20 million views.
In this lecture, Professor Lee will discuss his research discoveries on how children learn to lie, and how his work has facilitated the invention of the breakthrough transdermal optical imaging technology, along with its potential applications in intelligent education, healthcare, psychological research, affective AI, and other fields.
