Lying? Hot tip may come from the nose

Escrito por

Telling lies may not make your nose grow like Pinocchio’s, but it does leave the tip of your nose hotter, scientists claim.

Researchers said a rise in anxiety produced by lying will increase the temperature of the tip of your nose.

If you’re worried that your fib will be uncovered, researchers suggest a way of cooling the nose down — making «a great mental effort.»

Scientists, from the University of Granada, discovered the phenomenon by using thermal imaging cameras to monitor volunteers, the Daily Mail reported.

‘PINOCCHIO EFFECT’

They have dubbed it «The Pinocchio Effect», in honour of the 19th century Italian tale of the wooden puppet whose nose grew when he failed to tell the truth.

Emilio Gomez Milan and Elvira Salazar Lopez suggest that the temperature of the nose increases or decreases according to mood, as does the orbital muscle area in the inner corner of the eyes.

They also said thermal imaging can detect sexual desire and arousal in men and women, indicated by an increase in temperature in the chest and genital areas.

The technique also allowed researchers to produce thermal footprints — body patterns with specific temperature changes — for aerobic exercise and distinct types of dance, such as ballet.

Your nose shows when you lie

Much like Pinocchio, your nose could reveal that you’re lying, though unlike the beloved character, your nose will heat up instead of growing longer when you tell a fib, new research claims.

Psychology researchers from the University of Granada in Spain used thermography to study the temperature of people’s faces in experiments. They said they found a jump in the temperature around the nose and in the orbital muscle in the inner corner of the eye during lying. They also found that face temperature drops for people performing a difficult mental task and rises for people experiencing high anxiety.

The researchers said these effects could have something to do with the insula, a region of the brain involved in consciousness as well as the detection and regulation of body temperature. Lying boosted activity in this region, the team said. [Why We Lie]

Thermography could be used to study emotional or physiological states that become manifest through body temperature, such as sexual excitement, which heats up the chest and genitals, and even empathy. The researchers said that when highly empathic people see a person getting an electric shock in the forearm, they experience an increase in the temperature in their forearm as if feeling the other person’s pain.

In fact, past research showed that when touched by a male experimenter female heterosexuals in the study had an increase in skin temperature, specifically in the face and chest. That study, detailed May 30 in the journal Biology Letters, suggests skin-temperature changes may help scientists study arousal non-invasively.

In addition to detecting emotions, thermal cameras could out a drunk, according to a study detailed this year in the International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensics. In that study, researchers at the University of Patras in Greece had 20 healthy participants down an 11-ounce glass of beer every 20 minutes, for a total of four drinks; after each, the researchers took a sequence of infrared pictures of their faces. The team found that for drunk people, the nose and mouth regions are generally hotter compared with the forehead.

The new work focused on the so-called «Pinocchio effect» was part of a doctoral thesis and has yet to be published in a scientific peer-reviewed journal.

Study: Nose shows lying, heat plays a big element in findings

Escrito por

In the latest scientific study of a link between the nose and how it shows lying, researchers learned that heat is a big element in the findings, Huffington Post reports Dec. 4. It turns out that when someone lies, it’s not as if their nose grows like the animated character, Pinocchio, but it heats up.

Psychology researchers at the University of Granada in Spain learned from thermal tools, that the temperature around the nose and in the orbital muscle at the inner corner of the eye during rises when someone is lying.

The researchers believe this may have to do with insula — a section of the brain involved in consciousness as well as detection and regulation of body heat. Lying increased activity in that area of the brain

In other research, it was discovered that thermography measured the heat in facial studies surrounding low stress and high anxiety tests. When someone was performing a task relatively low in stress, their temperature decreased, versus someone who was working on a task that produced high anxiety. Their body temperature heightened.

New Study: Nose Shows If You’re Lying

Escrito por

Your nose may not grow like Pinocchio’s but it can still show when you’re lying.

According to a new study from the University of Granada in Spain, the nose heats up when someone isn’t telling the truth.

Fox News reports that researchers used thermography to study the various temperatures on a person’s face. The researchers found that the area around the nose, as well as the inner corner of the eye, heat up when someone is performing a stressful mental task like lying.

The Daily Mail reports that the study on the so-called «Pinocchio effect» has yet to be published in a scientific peer-reviewed journal.

There are, however, several other studies that have used thermography to study different emotional and physiological states. One past study showed that the the chest and genitals heat up during sexual arousal for both men and women. A separate study conducted at the University of Patras in Greece found that body temperature could be used to detect a person who has imbibed alcohol. In that study, researchers found that the nose and mouth regions got hotter as people drank more alcohol.

Another interesting finding involved empathy. According to researchers, a person who saw another person getting shocked in the forearm felt the temperature of their own forearm heat up, as if they were feeling the other person’s pain.

Carlo Collodi wrote the story of Pinocchio in the 1800s so it’s pretty safe to say that he didn’t have any fancy medical equipment to determine facial temperatures. Still, Collodi should probably be given partial credit for discovering the Pinocchio effect.
