But did you know that your brain can also betray(出卖) you when you tell a lie?A study released last Monday showed that the brains of people who are lying look very different from those who are telling the truth.

Six of them were asked to shoot a toy gun and then lie and say they didn't do it. Three others who watched told the truth about what happened.The volunteers were connected to a special machine, which used a strong magnet to provide areal-time picture of brain activity. Clear differences were seen between the liars and the truth-tellers.A total of seven areas were active in the cheating group, but only four in the truth-telling team.“It seemed to take more brain effort to tell the lie than to tell the truth,” Faro said.The traditional lie-detector machine looks at sweat, skin, breathing and heart rate changes.Using such new technology as a lie detector would be expensive, but it might he worthwhile in some criminal cases.( )36.
