Not for lying, OP.
"Proponents of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) claim that certain eye-movements are reliable indicators of lying. According to this notion, a person looking up to their right suggests a lie whereas looking up to their left is indicative of truth telling. Despite widespread belief in this claim, no previous research has examined its validity. "

Actually this is not quite right. Eyes up and to the left mean the person is visually remembering something, and up to the right mean they are visually constructing something. (Auditory eyes are a different matter altogether, so if you are asking someone to quote something, eyes up are irrelevant in terms of them telling the truth.) You have to apply context to eye movements (i.e. question asked or topic at hand) to the eye movements you see to determine truthfulness.
