Event-Related Potentials in Deception Detection

Abstract

The problem of lie detection has a long history. Main achievements in this field are concerned with registration of peripheral nervous system indicators. Our experiment provides possibility for development of a new lie detection technology, based on neurophysiology correlates of cognitive processes diagnostics that underlie deception. The experiments were conducted by "Audio-Visual Slider" soft¬ware (by Medicom MTD), which performed synchronized stimuli presentation and electrophysiological recording.
