BUILES, J  and  GUTIERREZ DE PINERES, C. Instruments, measures, procedures and background of studies produced for deceit detection by using psycho-physiological actions. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2018, vol.60, n.2, pp.75-88. ISSN 1794-3108.

This investigation aimed to identify the instruments, measures, procedures and background of studies produced for deceit detection by using psychophysiological actions in the last five years (2011- 2016). To this end, a literature review was compiled from different databases by running a descriptive data analysis according to the categories generated for this intention. It was noticed that electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) have begun to be used for this purpose with EEG as the most frequent. The procedure of potentials related to events is currently the most used for the deceit detection in the psycho-physiology field. No studies were found in Spanish speaking countries. The United States, China and England were identified as the main source of information in this field. Recent studies show an increase in understanding the brain processes produced at the time of deceiving. Nevertheless, these studies spark an ethical debate about the implications with respect to human freedom and self-incrimination.
