  • Behaviour Analysis Interview
  • Statement Validity Assessment
  • Reality Monitoring
  • Scientific Content Analysis
  • Several different polygraph tests
  • Voice Stress Analysis
  • Thermal Imaging
  • EEG-P300
  • Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)

All three aspects of deception are covered: nonverbal cues, speech and written statement analysis and (neuro)physiological responses. The most common errors in lie detection are discussed and practical guidelines are provided to help professionals improve their lie detection skills.

Index.

This book presents a great review of the research on deception, debunking many myths, and without seeming dull or dry, although this clearly is a serious book for academics or professionals, which is nice, considering how most every other book on this subject is rather sensationalist and often based on very limited subjective experience.
