Human Neuroimaging

Structural

– Measures of brain anatomy / tissue composition – e.g., Structural MRI; Diffusion Tensor Imaging

Functional

– Direct and indirect measures of brain activity – e.g., Functional MRI; PET; EEG

Analysis of fMRI Lie Detection Literature

(Wagner (2010), In: A Judgeʼs Guide to Neuroscience)

No relevant published data unambiguously answer whether fMRI- based neuroscience methods can detect lies at the individual- instance level. No relevant data on the sensitivity and specificity of fMRI-based lie detection.

The Published Literature (circa May 2010) –– 32 peer-reviewed papers in total (28 unique data sets)

  • 21 exclusively report group-level data

– cannot answer whether fMRI can detect individual lies

  • 11 report whether they can detect if an individual is “lying”

– fundamental methodological limitations render these studies uninformative

1) Yes: Under highly-controlled conditions, fMRI can discriminate between whether someone is remembering or not with reasonably high accuracy. 2) Not well: Under highly-controlled conditions, fMRI poorly discriminates between true vs. false memory and poorly detects past experience when the subject fails to remember. 3) Source memory? Unclear whether fMRI can identify the source of a memory (e.g., participation in an event vs. learning of event from the media) 4) Countermeasures? Subject strategies may dramatically alter classifier success. 5) Complicating factors: Retention interval; Practice effects; Emotional significance; Motivation; Stress; Group effects (e.g., older adults or children)
