The eye is a huge give away in non-verbal communication. Above is an image of a simple research done to show how different eye directions indicate different meanings. This goes to show how non-verbal communication is a major controlling factor in the communication process.
If you ask somebody a question, and he looks to his top right, it indicates a Visually Constructed image.
Try imagining a green cow.
If you ask somebody a question, and he looks to his right, it indicates an Auditory Constructed sound. Its basically imagining a sound you've never heard of.
Have you ever heard what sound an ant would make?
If you ask somebody a question, and he looks to his bottom right, it indicates a Feeling.
Do you remember how it felt when you plunged into the pool the other day?
If you ask somebody a question, and he looks to his top left, it indicates a Visually Remembered image.
Can you give me directions from the HELP desk to McDonalds?
If you ask somebody a question, and he looks to his left, it indicates an Auditory Remembered sound.
Does Dr. Paul have a harsh voice?
If you ask somebody a question, and he looks to his bottom left, it indicates an Internal Dialog, as in how somebody would when talking to himself.
"Man this stuff is interesting"
This is how eye direction sometimes give away lies or doubtfulness. Say for example you asked somebody, "Have you ever owned a BMW before?", and he responds while looking to his top right, indicating a visually constructed image, you'd have a hitch he's just imagining stuff.
(: Good stuff, no?
