Abstract: We are now seeing the development of neuroscience technologies, such as brain fingerprinting and fMRI lie detection, that have the potential to act as lie detectors. Is the existing Canadian law that prevents the admission of the results of a polygraph test sufficient to keep the results of these new tests from being used in the courtroom? This paper will argue that in the case of at least one technique, brain fingerprinting, it does not. While the current ban on the polygraph would apply to any technique that is explicitly a lie detector, brai... (read more)
