“…These effects were independent from the object weight. Providing exaggerated body-related cues that induce others to make incorrect action predictions and minimizing or delaying informative postural cues are fundamental aspects of effective deception (Brault et al 2010;Brault et al 2012). Here, we showed that these alterations of movement kinematics succeeded in blurring the observer's sensitivity in predicting object weight by observing reaching-to-grasp and lifting movements.…”

Previous studies showed that observing deceptive actions modulates the activity of the observer's motor system. However, it is unclear whether this modulation reflects the coding of deceptive intentions or the mapping of the kinematic adaptations required to attain deceptive actions. Here, we used single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation to measure cortico-spinal excitability (CSE) from hand and forearm muscles while participants predicted the weight of cubes lifted by actors who received truthful information on the object weight and provided 1) truthful (truthful actions) or 2) deceptive (deceptive actions) cues to the observers or 3) who received fooling information and were asked to provide truthful cues (deceived actions). This way, we independently manipulated actor's intentions and kinematic adaptations. We found that, as compared to truthful action observation, CSE increased during observation of deceptive actions, but decreased during observation of deceived actions. Importantly, while the CSE enhancement in response to deceptive intentions lacked muscle specificity, perceiving kinematic alterations in the deceived condition affected CSE only for the hand muscle involved in kinematic adaptations to unexpected object weight. This suggests that actor's intentions and movement kinematics may be coded by the observer's motor system at different hierarchical levels of action representation.

“…The attacker started 15 meters from the dummy head and ran, while bouncing the ball, towards a pre-defined point located 1.6 meters from the dummy head (defined by expert basketball players as the optimal distance for an attacker to change running direction) (see Fig. 1 used by Brault et al, 2010(Brault, Bideau, Craig, & Kulpa, 2010. The software also allowed us to time-align the recorded sound with the attacker's movements.…”

Sounds offer a rich source of information about events taking place in our physical and social environment. However, outside the domains of speech and music, little is known about whether humans can recognize and act upon the intentions of another agent’s actions detected through auditory information alone. In this study we assessed whether intention can be inferred from the sound an action makes, and in turn, whether this information can be used to prospectively guide movement. In 2 experiments experienced and novice basketball players had to virtually intercept an attacker by listening to audio recordings of that player’s movements. In the first experiment participants had to move a slider, while in the second one their body, to block the perceived passage of the attacker as they would in a real basketball game. Combinations of deceptive and nondeceptive movements were used to see if novice and/or experienced listeners could perceive the attacker’s intentions through sound alone. We showed that basketball players were able to more accurately predict final running direction compared to nonplayers, particularly in the second experiment when the interceptive action was more basketball specific. We suggest that athletes present better action anticipation by being able to pick up and use the relevant kinematic features of deceptive movement from event-related sounds alone. This result suggests that action intention can be perceived through the sound a movement makes and that the ability to determine another person’s action intention from the information conveyed through sound is honed through practice.

“…Research of this sort enables players to train using virtual agents that have anticipation skills. As a result, human players can improve their deceptive abilities in rugby, soccer, and handball (Brault, Bideau, Craig, & Kkulpa, 2010;Dessing & Craig, 2010;Vignais, Kulpa, Craig, Brault, Multon, & Bideau, 2010).…”

A common behavior in animals and human beings is deception. Deceptive behavior in robotics is potentially beneficial in several domains ranging from the military to a more everyday context. In our research, novel algorithms were developed for the deceptive behavior of a robot, inspired by the observed deceptive behavior of squirrels for cache protection strategies, then evaluating the results via simulation studies. In this paper, we present this bioinspired algorithm for robot deception and observe whether the algorithm is truly applicable in actual robot systems.
