I have been wondering for some time if it would be possible to find a correlation between some brain imaging techniques (MRI, PET...) and the act of consciously lying. This could create the ultimate lie-detecting machine.
Potentially, it could be much easier than recognizing full images, as there would only be two possible outputs to discriminate.
- zerostar07 15y agoTurns out it's actually harder, because we can't locate any 'lie signals' or 'lie areas', while the visual cortex is very large and organized.
- danmaz74 15y agoYou mean that we already tried to locate them and failed, or that we should start looking? Anyway, my point is that if there are some neural activity pattern that is correlated to lying, it could be easier to extract that information than it is extracting full images from the visual cortex.
