Lie detection: History, Brain observations & Polygraph

Lie detection is an assessment of a verbal statement with the goal to reveal a possible intentional deceit. Lie detection may refer to a cognitive process of detecting deception by evaluating message content as well as non-verbal cues. Typically, people are not as good at detecting lies as they think they are. The average person can only detect lying…
