This pap er presents a static analysis of deception in multimodal funct ions. Deception in a bipolar function of unitation (a function with two global optima and a number of decepti ve attractors) is defined, and a set of suffic ient conditions relat ing function values is obtained. A bipolar decept ive function is also constructed from low-order Walsh coeffic ients. Multimodal functions of bou...

Recent neuroimaging studies have shown the importance of the prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortices in deception. However, little is known about the role of each of these regions during deception. Using positron emission tomography (PET), we measured brain activation while participants told truths or lies about two types of real-world events: experienced and unexperienced. The imaging data ...

The evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers was the first to address well-known psychological phenomenon of self-deception from standpoint natural science. According Trivers, evolved as an offensive strategy in arms race between deceiver and deceived. Though apparently both tenable plausible, Trivers? theory self-deception, which takes enhancement interpersonal deception proper function is burden...

Abstract The moral comparison of the three venues deception—lying, falsely implicating, and nonverbal deception—is a central, ongoing debate in ethics deception. To date there has been no attempt to advance through experimental philosophy. Using methods economics, we devised strategic game test positions debate. Our article presents results shows how philosophical analysis allows drawing valid ...

The Dark Triad traits-narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy-have been found to be associated with intra- or interpersonal deception production frequency. This cross-sectional study (N = 207) investigated if the Dark Triad traits are also associated with deception detection accuracy, as implicated by the recent conception of a deception-general ability. To investigate associations between...

Cyber attacks on both databases and critical infrastructure have threatened public and private sectors. Meanwhile, ubiquitous tracking and wearable computing have infringed upon privacy. Advocates and engineers have recently proposed using defensive deception as a means to leverage the information asymmetry typically enjoyed by attackers as a tool for defenders. The term deception, however, has...

INTRODUCTION Deception is a complex social behavior which involves a set of higher cognitive functions. Studying this common phenomenon in humans has in all epochs been driven not merely by the wish to understand the underlying framework of cognitive functioning but rather by the ambition to detect deceptive behavior in criminal suspects. Thus, identifying valid indicators of deceptive behavior...

Deception is a clinically important behavior with poorly understood neurobiological correlates. Published functional MRI (fMRI) data on the brain activity during deception indicates that, on a multisubject group level, lie is distinguished from truth by increased prefrontal and parietal activity. These findings are theoretically important; however, their applied value will be determined by the ...

This study investigates the effectiveness of an automatic system for detection of deception by individuals with the use of multiple indicators of such potential deception. Deception detection research in the information systems discipline has postulated increased accuracy through a new class of screening systems that automatically conduct interviews and track multiple indicators of deception si...

In view of the relative disagreement among those studying deception as to how deception, the lie, or deceptive communication should be defined, an attempt is made to integrate the views of the most influential scholars in the field in order to formulate a comprehensive and clear-cut definition of deception. The starting point is Coleman and Kay’s (1981) elements of the prototypical lie, as well...
