STROKES LEND THE ABILITY TO DETECT A LIE
A study in the journal Nature suggests that people who have
suffered a stroke may gain a surprising benefit -- an advantage
in spotting liars, particularly when the untruths are given away
by changes in facial expression. The phenomenon occurs in
patients who develop a loss in language ability, called aphasia,
as a result of a stroke.
"As far back as the 1920s there are anecdotal reports of patients
with aphasia being able to detect when people were lying," says
Nancy Etcoff, a psychologist at the Massachusetts General
Hospital (MGH) who led the study.
"(They) seem to be more sensitive to... nuances in facial
expression that reveal a disconnect between what someone is
trying to express and what they really are feeling."
