Any poker expert knows the power of 'tells' - small actions that indicate a player is trying to deceive their opponent.
Now a new study suggests one of the best ways to tell if someone is lying to you is to see if they mimic your actions. 
Dutch researchers from Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam used motion capture to monitor the behaviour of liars as they told increasingly bigger lies to someone else. 
We can imitate the behaviour of others unconsciously, and we become more likely to automatically mimic them if the brain is working hard, the researchers explained.
