Lying
So there is this little news saying that lying makes brain work harder. Yet another piece of your-mother-is-a-woman kind of "scientific" research. Using this for lie detection seems to be the only little merit, but I still not yet buy that it would definitely be superior to a traditional polygraph, as some people can convince their brain that they are not lying. Can't help but think of this quote from Seinfeld.
- "Just remember, it's not a lie if you believe it."
