I know you're lying. Your brain waves are moving
New Jersey Star-Ledger, 25 May 2005
Julian Keenan can tell if you're lying, even if your pants aren't on fire. Keenan, a cognitive neuropsychologist at Montclair State University, is working on a foolproof method of detecting lies, one he hopes will replace the polygraph test. He uses a machine that scans brain waves, which register a change when someone is lying or trying to detect a lie, he says. In Keenan's words, 'The right frontal cortex gets very excited.'"
