EyeDetect is a revolutionary lie detector that has changed the way the world detects deception. Learn how it can spot a liar. The eyes don’t lie.
Our Story
A New Approach to Truth Verification
Converus develops scientifically validated technologies for credibility assessment. The company grew out of research into how the human eye responds to cognitive activity, and how involuntary responses can help identify deception. Based in Lehi, Utah, Converus brings together scientific research, software development, and practical experience to create technology for organizations, government agencies, and individuals around the world.
The idea behind Converus began in 2002, when University of Utah researchers Dr. John Kircher and Dr. Doug Hacker considered whether changes in eye behavior could provide another way to detect deception. Their research explored how increased cognitive effort can produce measurable changes in pupil size, eye movements, and blinking. A research team began developing and evaluating this approach in 2003. Read more about the origin of Converus.
After years of laboratory research, testing, and refinement, the technology moved toward commercial development. The company was initially formed as Credibility Assessment Technologies in 2009 and became Converus, Inc. in December 2013. The name Converus combines the Latin words con, meaning “with,” and verus, meaning “truth.” In 2014, the company introduced EyeDetect, a computerized credibility assessment system that measures involuntary eye behavior as a person answers questions. It offered a new approach designed to complement established methods such as the polygraph. Explore the history of Converus.
Since the introduction of EyeDetect, Converus has continued to develop its technology and expand its product offerings. EyeDetect+ combines eye tracking with additional physiological measurements in an automated testing system. In 2023, the company introduced VerifEye, a mobile application that uses a standard smartphone to measure involuntary eye behavior during a truth verification test.
Converus continues to invest in scientific research, software development, and new applications for its technology. Its work is supported by proprietary methods and patented innovations, with further development underway. Learn more about the science behind Converus technology.

In 2017, Converus released IdentityDetect, an additional innovative credibility assessment technology.
In 2021, Converus released the world’s first automated polygraph—EyeDetect+®.
In 2023, Converus released VerifEye®, the world’s first mobile app for iOS or Android phones that quickly and accurately validates truth by measuring involuntary eye behavior.
These technologies help protect countries, corporations and communities from corruption, crime and threats. Converus is headquartered in Lehi, Utah, USA.
EyeDetect+ is the world’s first automated polygraph. It monitors and records ocular-motor activity, as well as physiological activity like a traditional polygraph — but it’s less intrusive. The testing and scoring process is automated by computer, making it twice as fast as a traditional polygraph. And best of all, it’s 89-91% accurate.
EyeDetect is the world’s first scientifically validated, scalable, nonintrusive lie detection technology that detects deception at 86-88% accuracy in 15-30 minutes by analyzing eye and other behaviors.
It’s the first breakthrough in effectively uncovering lies since the polygraph was invented nearly 100 years ago.
VerifEye (patent pending) is the world’s first mobile app to help organizations or individuals accurately verify the truth about a person — including background, identity, creditworthiness and claims — in about 10 minutes.
Converus (“with truth”) provides scientifically validated credibility assessment technologies that help protect countries, corporations and communities from corruption, crime and threats.
