Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that the brain activations associated with lying can be similar or identical to those associated with thinking about lying, making it difficult to distinguish lies from truth solely based on brain scans. While fMRIs can provide some accuracy in distinguishing truths from lies, it is not a foolproof method. Integrity tests have also been shown to have limitations in identifying liars. Brain waves have not been found to be more sensitive to truth detection than lie detection in recent research.
