Mark Frank, associate professor of communication, was featured on National Public Radio's Morning Edition as part of NPR's three-part series on new developments in lie detection. Frank's work focuses on detection of involuntary facial "microexpressions" that may indicate a person is being deceptive. His research is useful in detecting potential terrorists at security checkpoints. NPR national security correspondent Dina Temple-Raston interviewed Frank in his Communication Science Center lab on the UB North Campus.
