Let's be real though. With brain imaging, we will eventually be able to accurately detect lies. This is one of many ethically charged issues where dismissing it as unreliable/pseudoscience will only work for so long before one that actually works is built.
- autoexec 8y agoI'm not convinced this will ever be the case. Even if we were able to somehow discover a part of the brain that only ever activates when lying what happens when someone says something truthful while also thinking of a lie? What happens when someone technically tells the truth but omits critical information?
