Deceptive facial expressions & computers

[jeffbert]

Gizmag just published a page about humans' near inability to tell false expressions of pain from real ones, & a computer's 30% better track record:

Computer better than a human at telling if you're faking it

Pathetic humans' could do little better than 50% (pure chance), but the machine performed at >80%. This may affect police & military interrogations, courtroom testimonies, & other things in the future.

I remember hearing something about this years ago, but I forget where.
