How confident are you in your ability to detect a lie? Most of us think we can tell when someone is being dishonest - but what does the science actually say?
Join us for an exclusive online event with world-renowned deception expert Professor Aldert Vrij, whose groundbreaking research has shaped how police, security services, and psychologists across the globe approach lie detection.
In this eye-opening session, Professor Vrij will explore:
- Why we’re not as good at spotting lies as we think
- The psychological and behavioural science behind deception
- Common myths about liars — and why they persist
- Cutting-edge techniques used to detect deceit in high-stakes settings
Whether you're interested in psychology, criminology, law enforcement, or just fascinated by human behaviour, this event will challenge what you think you know about truth and lies.
