Neural correlates of deception

Deception, also known as ‘lying’, is a pervasive and fundamental social behavior in which a person attempts to persuade another to accept as true what the deceiver believes to be untrue. This special issue samples diverse new empirical studies on the cognitive and neural processes associated with producing lies using a variety of paradigms, techniques, and measures. Several broad issuesare addressed, such as the existence of different types of lies and individual differences in deception, laboratory versus field studies of deception, single individual versus group data approaches, and the potential of neuroscience-based lie detection.
