The search for methods to distinguish truth from deception has a centuries-long history that will be traced from historical efforts to their present day iterations. Topics will include government efforts to identify potential individual threats through specific questioning to recently developed brain-measures of “guilty knowledge.” Do they work? What does that even mean? Some broad scientific, pragmatic and ethical guidelines will be considered.
