Brain scanner is a lie detector

BBC News

A medical scan that can pick up brain tumours could also be used to tell whether a person is lying, US researchers have found.

When a person is telling the truth they use different parts of their brain than when people lie, the Temple University team said.

These changes were detected by functional magnetic resonance imaging.

The method may prove more accurate than traditional machines, they told the Radiological Society of North America.

5. The method may prove more accurate than traditional machines

That would of course be the "Lie Detector" or Polygraph, and the coin, both of which are equally reliable.
