We&#8217;re lied to up to 100 times a day, yet research shows fewer than one in a 1000 people can reliably detect lies. But science has declared a new war on deception. In this special half hour report, Catalyst crosses the world to put the latest in lie detection technology to the test. We&#8217;ll see an actual lie forming in the brain, visit the US Department of Defence&#8217;s &#8220;Booth of Truth&#8221;, learn the truths and myths of spotting lies, find out when lying is good for you, and why humans have evolved to be so vulnerable to liars. Along the way, Catalyst reporter Dr Jonica Newby exposes one of her deepest secrets to the lie detectors &#8211; \u201c would you answer questions about your integrity, plastic surgery, even fidelity on national television? The stakes are high, or the tests won&#8217;t work. This week on Catalyst &#8211; can science catch a liar?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A transcript of the show is available at the above-linked page, and it seems that the video will eventually appear on-line, too.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) television program Catalyst examined lie detection in an episode titled, &#8220;To Catch a Liar&#8221;: How good are you at spotting a lie?
