An interrogation device designed to detect deception by measuring changes in the brain. Lie detectors detect the "formation" of a lie in the brain, the electro-chemical changes of actual thought. Because of the nature of the sensors used in the lie detector, the device can detect, not only deliberate falsehoods, but also other non-true statements, including statements in which the subject knows a correct answer subconsciously but genuinely believes a false answer to be true or even stories, which the teller knows are untrue, but are told with no intention to deceive.
The lie detector, uses two probes, one inserted into the medulla and one in the forebrain. These probes are very fine and are inserted via a remote guided robot arm. Doses of broad-spectrum anti-bacterial drugs are required by subjects of this device. The lie detector, measures 120mm x 70mm x 40mm and weighs 250g.
