Turns out your body might know what's really going on when that happens.
I'm here with Giulia Romano Cappi, a researcher in social neuroscience at the University of Turin in Italy who studied this.
Giulia, welcome to the show.
So self-deception, what do we mean when we say that?
What might I be doing if I act in self-deception?
Yeah, so we're talking to friends and we're bragging about something, but maybe we exaggerate a little bit too much.
And while we do it, we might even believe that it's true, something like that.
Yes.
That's what I was just thinking.
And there's probably people who love lying, but okay.
So how do you set up this test?
How do you convince people to speak wired up to all this stuff and then maybe brag a little bit?
How do you even know they're bragging?
Not even the truth, yeah.
No, exactly.
It's a little deceptive.
No.
I'm great.
Yeah, I love that.
That's such a fun experiment.
