Functional MRI (fMRI)-based lie detection has been marketed as a tool for enhancing personnel selection, strengthening national security and protecting personal reputations, and at least three US courts have been asked to admit the results of lie detection scans as evidence during trials. How well does fMRI-based lie detection perform, and how should the courts, and society more generally, respond? Here, we address various questions — some of which are based on a meta-analysis of published studies — concerning the scientific state of the art in fMRI-based lie detection and its legal status, and discuss broader ethical and societal implications. We close with three general policy recommendations.
基于功能磁共振成像（fMRI）的测谎已被推销为一种增强人员选拔、加强国家安全和保护个人声誉的工具，至少有三个美国法院被要求在审判中接受测谎扫描结果作为证据。基于 fMRI 的测谎表现如何，法院以及更广泛的社会应该如何应对？在这里，我们将回答各种问题——其中一些问题是基于对已发表研究的荟萃分析——涉及 fMRI 测谎技术的科学现状及其法律地位，并讨论更广泛的伦理和社会影响。最后，我们提出了三项一般性政策建议。
