Lie to me

Posted by Sean Force in Science and Society - Best - E on Friday, December 20, 2013 at 7:31 pm

Sean Force and Nicholas Murray interview Merrik Saunders and Roberto Abazoski on the topic of lie detection methods and their uses, especially in the applications of the country's legal system.  Should these methods be admissible in court, especially those that involves observing the brain for activation of certain areas in order to determine when the subjects are lying?  Could this lead us down a road that we didn't intend, into a world where we can be punished for this we don't even do?

*Apologies ahead of time, they are both rather soft-spoken in the podcast.*

A New take on Teens Being Tried as Adults

Posted by Jovan Lewis in Science and Society - Best - E on Friday, December 20, 2013 at 6:27 pm

Shannon and I were using what we learned about neurological disorders to take a new look on teens being tried as adults for crimes. It's a known fact that the brain isn't fully developed until about 21 years and that being the most complex organ in the body there's a lot it does that we don't exactly know how, this shines a light on point being made on court decisions for one with a lower brain capacity.

Tez and Tav see what people think about lie detector test to get a better understanding on if they are reliable or not and also to see if people would use them for very important things.
