“…Introduced as a necessary modifi cation of the GKT in the fi rst study to be conducted (Rosenfeld 1987) was the repeated presentation of each stimulus, that resulted from the need to collect numerous reactions in response to the same stimulus for later averaging. Th e successive studies (among others by Rosenfeld, Cantwell, Nasman, Wojdac, Ivanov, Mazzeri 1988, after: Rosenfeld 1999, Farwell and Donchin 1991 another modifi cation was introduced, namely a stimulus category was added: besides the signifi cant stimulus called 'probe' and irrelevant stimuli from the same category ('irrelevant'), this was the control stimulus -'target' -unrelated to the crime, to which the subject was to react in a diff erent manner (by pressing a diff erent button) than in the case of all the remaining stimuli.…”

Studies that make use of the bioelectric activity of the brain and falling back on the EEG are presented as an alternative to classical polygraph examinations, especially those that make use of the Guilty Knowledge Tests/Concealed Information Tests (GKT/CIT). Th eir main purpose is detection of concealed information through the analysis of the bioelectric activity of the brain in response to presented stimuli. Th e article aims at elucidating the main questions concerning the detection of concealed information with the use of P300 potential amplitude analysis, discussion of the chief advantages and disadvantages of the method, and presentation of a review of seminal studies.

“…Rosenfeld et al (1987) and Donchin and Farwell (1991) reported success using EEG techniques to identify specifi c ERPs that were correlated to the recognition of guilty knowledge. In 1991 the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) funded Farwell to further develop his technique, but chose not to continue the funding after an independent panel reported in 1993 that the developer was unwilling to release details of his approach, viewing them as proprietary.…”

Form Approved OMB No. 0704-0188Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington VA 22202-4302. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to a penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if it does not display a currently valid OMB control number. REPORT DATE DEC 20062 Same as Report (SAR)18 About the Intelligence Science Board MissionThe Intelligence Science Board was chartered in August 2002 and advises the Offi ce of the Director of National Intelligence and senior Intelligence Community leaders on emerging scientifi c and technical issues of special importance to the Intelligence Community. The mission of the Board is to provide the Intelligence Community with outside expert advice and unconventional thinking, early notice of advances in science and technology, insight into new applications of existing technology, and special studies that require skills or organizational approaches not resident within the Intelligence Community. The Board also creates linkages between the Intelligence Community and the scientifi c and technical communities. ImpactBoard members initiate studies and assessments in topic areas where they believe that the Board's interdisciplinary expertise and experience could benefi t the Intelligence Community. In addition, the Board responds to tasking from the Associate Director of National Intelligence for Science and Technology and from the heads of elements of the Intelligence Community. All ISB tasks are mutually agreed to by the ISB and by the Associate Director of National Intelligence for Science and Technology. The Board's procedures for developing and communicating its fi ndings and advice will remain as fl exible and informal as is possible, consistent with the mission. MembershipThe Board is composed of approximately 25 members whose range of expertise encompasses the physical and biological sciences, information technology and communications, information policy, and the law, among others.

“…The investigation of dishonest or concealed information by means of verbal criteria (Vrij, 2015), behavioral and physiological data has a research tradition of more than 55 years (e.g., Abe et al, 2014;Ben-Shakhar & Elaad, 2003;Farwell & Donchin, 1991;Furedy & BenShakhar, 1991;Garrigan, Adlam, & Langdon, 2016;Lykken, 1959;Rosenfeld, Nasman, Whalen, Cantwell, & Mazzeri, 1987;Rosenfeld, 2018;Vendemia, 2014). O'Sullivan (2008) emphasized that the literature on deception and lie detection is heterogeneous and can be related to misinforming others, active lying, or concealing information.…”

In deception tasks the parietal P3 amplitude of the event-related potential indicates either recognition of salient stimuli (larger P3 following salient information) or mental effort (smaller P3 following demanding information). This meta-analysis (k = 77) investigated population effect sizes () for conceptual and methodological a-priori moderators (study design, pre-task scenario, context of deception tasks, and P3 quantification). Within-subjects designs show evidence of the underlying cognitive processes, between-subjects designs allow for comparisons of cognitive processes in culprits vs. innocents. Committed vs. imagined mock crime scenarios yield larger . Deception tasks with a legal context result in almost twice as large  than deception tasks with social-interactional and social-biographical contexts. Peak-to-peak P3 quantification resulted in larger  than other quantifications.Counter-measure techniques in 3-stimulus protocols reduce the discriminability of concealed vs. truthful P3 amplitudes. Depending on stimulus knowledge, deception tasks provide evidence for the salience hypothesis and the mental effort hypothesis, respectively.
