Recent deception detection approaches (e.g., lie detector tests) rely upon a brainwave sensitive to concealed information, such as a murder weapon at a crime scene, called the P3. Yet this concealed information approach does not apply in many circumstances where concealed information is important. For example, it has no screening potential. Therefore, researchers have begun to investigate other approaches that can use the P3 signal and that are sensitive to additional informationsuch as attitudes, rather than just information about objects. However, important questions remain, such as how to elicit other brainwaves, which could enhance the accuracy of the test.The primary intellectual merit of this project is its extension beyond prior concealed attitude studies. They advance the field by outlining both practical implementations and techniques for better understanding the basic neural processes of deception. Through use of a scenario known to elicit the memory-related brain wave and a brain wave for competing responses to deception, the research builds upon prior studies using brain signals to detect knowledge, extending them here to detect intentions.These findings have important implications for law enforcement practice because, unlike other tests of concealed information, this test may be a useful security screening tool to detect when someone has an extreme attitude. Therefore this doctoral research project will contribute to detecting deception about attitudes and intentions, rather than objects. In addition, the research will be conducted at a Hispanic Serving Institution, thus potentially expanding opportunities for science research among members of underrepresented groups.

最近的欺骗检测方法（例如，测谎仪测试）依赖于对隐藏信息敏感的脑电波，例如犯罪现场的谋杀武器，称为P3。然而，这种隐藏的信息方法在许多情况下不适用于隐藏信息很重要。 例如，它没有筛选潜力。 因此，研究人员已经开始研究可以使用P3信号的其他方法，并且对其他信息敏感，而不仅仅是有关对象的信息。但是，仍然存在重要的问题，例如如何引起其他脑电波，这可以提高测试的准确性。该项目的主要知识优点是其超出先前隐藏态度研究的范围。 他们通过概述实践和技术来更好地理解欺骗的基本神经过程，通过概述实践和技术来推进这一领域。通过使用已知的情景来引起与记忆相关的脑波和脑波以竞争欺骗的反应，研究基于先前的研究，使用脑信号来检测知识，以检测意图。发现对执法练习具有重要的影响，因为与隐藏信息的其他测试相比，该测试可能是一种有用的态度，而不是实质性筛选工具。 因此，该博士研究项目将有助于检测有关态度和意图的欺骗，而不是对象。此外，这项研究将在西班牙裔服务机构进行，从而有可能扩大代表性不足群体成员的科学研究机会。
