Lie Detector 2.0

Polygraphs don't work. No seriously they don't work. Everyone and their grandma knows how to beat them. But guess what, now instead of looking at the physiological responses of the brain, we can just look straight in at the brain itself, no more proxy measures for brain activity (well I guess we're using BOLD activation and that's still a proxy measure, but we're closer than before). With Lie Detector 2.0, we throw you in an fMRI detector and with 100% accuracy we can tell if you're lying, though we might also sometimes categorize your response as a lie when it's really not, but we're working on that so don't worry a few false positives won't hurt.
