1123: David Eagleman | Your Prehistoric Brain on Modern Problems

So if you ask me a question and I'm lying to you, there's certain stress that goes with that. And that's what's being picked up on. But let's say I'm a particularly good liar or I practice this lie a bunch or I'm a psychopath and I don't care that I'm lying. It doesn't stress me out at all. Then there's not going to be that signal.

I believe you, but a good liar would say the same story that you're saying, by the way.

Oh, man. If you're a sophisticated liar, you would set this up so that then people around you think, oh, we know when Jordan's lying, so then you can get away with it.

Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly right. That's one of the issues is the sanctity of your inner cosmos. Yeah. So just as an example, there was a case in the 1960s where the police thought this guy probably had drugs. They broke into his house and he ran upstairs and they chased him. After he got to his bedroom and there were these pills on the dresser and he

Stuck all the pills in his mouth and swallowed them and then said, you can't bust me anything because you can't find anything. So they had him taken to the hospital and they pumped his stomach. And this went all the way up to the Supreme Court about whether that's okay to do that or that's an invasion of privacy.

And so the Supreme Court ruled that that was an invasion of privacy to pump somebody's stomach. But there are other circumstances when you can be given a blood test or something. So anyway, this issue about brain imaging is always right in between. This is an active area in legislation right now about when it counts as private or not.

But I think for a while, what we're going to see is that it's a step too far and far as invasion of privacy. Even if we had meaningful fMRI lie detection, the idea of saying we're going to handcuff you and force you in the scanner and force your brain to tell us something that's not going to fly.
