摘要:For many years, psychologists tried to elucidate the mechanisms involved in lying. This research was largely influenced by societal demands from the judiciary for the detection of culprits and the forensic sphere to establish whether subjects were simulating an excessive pathology in order to obtain financial or social benefits. With the advent of functional brain imaging, researches have been developed to identify brain structures activated when a subject lies. In our non-exhaustive review, we discuss these researches by highlighting their limitations at two levels: the ecological validity of the situations created in fMRI and their theoretical relevance. It is concluded that, despite the dynamism of this field of research, progress is to be made in the cognitive analysis of the proposed tasks and it is emphasized that, in the current state of the art, the use of functional imaging in legal or forensic situations is quite premature.
