We’ve all seen colorful stories that win unfair promotion or destroy others at work. Well now the color itself shows up as a lie. Compare the images below and hope your stories ... no matter how colorful ... project as the duller figure on the left. Why so?
Today ABC News posted the brain scan you see here – where the image on the right shows the brains way of telling the truth in an image - when people lie. 
Lie into the FMRI scan, and the brain stops its impulse to tell the truth, in order to generate the deception or lie. This extra work that it takes the brain to develop an untruth cause more blood to rush to that area as a help.
It’s the extra rush of blood to that area of the brain – that can be picked up by the imaging machine and voila – you are caught. How accurate is the colored picture that shines back from the research.
about 90 to 95% which is enough to make a person think twice before fabricating that part of your CV that didn’t really happen.
This process of detecting lies is not yet permitted in court yet – but as it gains more accuracy – expect the brain to yield many more of its own secrets through images of blood flow to the lie detector areas you see here.
Can you see its usefulness where you work?
