Can body language and AI together reveal what people really think?
In this episode of Unveiling Journeys, Tiffany sits down with David Schneer — qualitative researcher, behavioral scientist, and pioneer in integrating nonverbal intelligence with AI-driven analysis.
With four decades of experience studying human behavior for some of the world’s largest companies, David explains why what people say often contradicts what their body communicates — and how emotional leakage exposes the truth our brains try to hide.
From his early years in journalism and tech marketing to building groundbreaking research methodologies, David shares an extraordinary career shaped by curiosity, resilience, and five spinal surgeries that taught him more about human nature than any classroom could.
We explore:
✅ The limbic vs. neocortex battle — and why the “reptile brain” never lies
✅ What emotional leakage is and how it reveals hidden attitudes
✅ Why traditional research misses 60–80% of communication
✅ How AI now detects nonverbal signals frame-by-frame
✅ Why trust is our default setting (and how we get duped)
✅ The future of qualitative research and behavioral insight
If you’re fascinated by psychology, AI, human behavior, or how companies uncover the truth behind consumer decisions — this episode is a must-watch.
