Summary

To lie is to make a false statement with the intention to deceive. To deceive means to intentionally cause another person to have a false belief. To discover whether, or not a person is lying is difficult find, monitoring their nonverbal behaviour is of key importance. It requires experience and has its limits. Examination by polygraph has low sensitivity and specificity. Use of contemporary functional imaging methods has considerable limits too. The burden of these methods is connected with four types of problems including inner „self-defence“.

Key words:
lying, deceiving, polygraph, imaging methods.
