Recent developments in the application of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to lie detection raise tremendous concerns for civil liberties. The federal government has invested heavily in a range of technologies and devices, including fMRI, for their use in detecting deception. At least two companies have recently announced that they will soon offer lie detection services using fMRI and are aggressively marketing their services to private companies and government agencies for everything from personnel screening to interrogating terror suspects. These companies are Cephos Corporation and the obviously named "NoLieMRI. These companies are intending to market their services to federal government agencies, including the Department of Defense, department of Justice, the National Security Agency, and the CIA, and to state and local police departments. It will be interesting to see how the courts view these news analysis tools. My opinion is that this technology is not ready for prime time, but one thing is for sure, it looks like the neurosociety is emerging quickly.
