If we told you not to move your eyebrows – not even a fraction – do you think you could do so in a high-stress situation? Well, according to Dr Mark Frank, a world-renowned social psychologist, you would be moving them even if you thought you weren’t.

Allow Dr Frank to take you inside the extraordinary world of interrogation, polygraphs, and airport police.
