...stress that creates the clues picked up by polygraphs also boosts blood flow in capillaries around the eye. A new application of thermal-imaging technology, called periorbital thermography, uses a high-resolution camera to detect temperature changes as small as .045°F (.025°C). Endocrinologist James Levine of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., co-authored a paper in the journal Nature in 2002 in which he claimed a lie-detection accuracy of 73%. Investigators at the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute (DODPI) in Fort Jackson, S.C., tell TIME they have reached...
Scientists at DODPI have also become expert at tracking the motion of the eyes. When the eye takes in a series of images of faces, objects or scenes, it spends less time on familiar elements because the brain needs less processing to interpret them. DODPI has developed an infrared camera that can track eye movement and an algorithm that can interpret it, providing clues as to whether a suspect recognizes, say, the face of a kidnapped child. Tests have reportedly achieved an 85% to 92% success rate...
...Gadget reviewers like me may love a challenge, but we like it even better when products work as billed. I tested an iControl system that included a wireless camera, which I easily positioned and programmed to snap pictures of anyone walking through my front door. I coupled a motion sensor with a lamp controller, so that the light went on whenever someone walked by. The coolest part was that I could also command the lights and camera directly from the Web page. I did not test the thermostat, but like the other devices, it can be controlled remotely...
...plenty of sites in urban areas, or within striking distance of major cities, that are home to many species of colorful birds. When you're done with meetings or can't face[an error occurred while processing this directive] another day of shopping, fit a long lens on your camera and go grab a glimpse of some of these feathered assets...
...appears more soothing than bellicose. There is none of Saddam Hussein's finger wagging or Yasser Arafat's eye-bulging lectures or Osama bin Laden's hectoring sneer. Instead, Nasrallah reads deliberately from notes, occasionally swallowing as if to catch his breath. Every so often, he looks into the camera and flashes a smile...
