Blinking During and After Lying
Sharon Leal and Aldert Vrij , University of Portsmouth
Published on Journal of Nonverbal Behavior.
Though I did not read this paper (UCSD does not purchase the online version). This article received pretty good media coverage (Telegraph).
They reported that people telling a lie (and afterwards) has substantial higher (8x) blinking rate than normal situation. They use some electronic devices attached to the eye to measure the blink rate.
Spot Fake Smile
BBC created a website for visitors to test their ability in discerning true versus fake smiles in 20 videos. The test is based on Paul Ekman’s research.

I get 18 out of 20 correct, but I was cheating since I know the key AU that makes the difference.
Face Swapping
Appeared in SIGGRAPH 2008. This can be used to de-identification of faces in google street views.
They use OMRON face/feature detectors. I think we have to release (at least) our feature detectors to stimulate more creative applications before ours lose the advantage in the market. Is there anyway we could get a copy of these commercial detectors and do some benchmark?
