Think you’ll lie and get away with it? The MRI will find you out

Lying for your own benefit thinking you won’t get caught. Sure, it’s always possible. But your brain will still reveal your choice, albeit only on an MRI. And a study that brings together social neuroscience and neuroimaging to show the brain mechanisms of moral choices tells it.

A study conducted at the Santa Lucia IRCCS Foundation in Rome, in collaboration with Sapienza University of Rome and which investigated the reactions of the brain to moral choices: not everyone behaves the same way.
