Distinguishing deception from its confounds by improving the validity of fMRI-based neural prediction

 

Deception is a universal human behavior. Yet longstanding skepticism about the validity of measures used to characterize the biological mechanisms underlying deceptive behavior

has relegated such studies to the scientific periphery.
