Summary:The subject invention comprises a method whereby a deceptive individual will be required to perform a specific cognitive task in order to accomplish deception, which differs from a cognitive task that is performed by a truthf ul individual in response to the same instructions (1). The psychophysiological manifestations of the cognitive task, or of the increased cognitive activity involved in the task are measured (2).
