David Zevin Analysis
Brooklyn defense attorney David Zevin almost made legal history last month by attempting to submit functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data as evidence that a key witness was telling the truth. Zevin was defending Cynette Wilson, who claimed that the temping agency she had worked for stopped giving her work following her complaint of sexual harassment.
Do you Know brain imaging (fMRI) can be used to lie detection? As a Neuroscientist Moheb Costandi provides his commentary in Seed Magazine on that,” functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data as evidence that a key witness was telling the truth.”(1)
Defense Lawyer David Zevin, formed a legitimate antiquity by yielding fMRI data, in the court room. Zevin tries to convince the jury

    Within the study, 136 residents of the Wynne Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice witnessed a staged theft and provided testimony to the incident (Colwell et al, 2002). The interview consisted of scripts derived from Structured, Cognitive, and Inferential Interview techniques. Participants were assigned randomly to one of the three interview techniques and were measured on their honesty and dishonesty to the questions obtained. Participants randomly assigned to the honest group were instructed to report everything about the incident as truthful as possible. Participants in the dishonest group were instructed to distort the testimony from the honest group to debar the conviction of the staged perpetrator. The interviews were held individually for a duration of one hour and were recorded and videotaped (Colwell et al, 2002). The role of the interviewers was to accurately identify participants who were giving fabricated statements and honest statements.…

    2 New research is using functional MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), a scan of the brain that shows specific areas that are activated during certain tasks, as a lie detector test. Explain which area(s) of the brain you think might light up to show that you are telling a lie or telling the truth. Explain your reasoning. The part of the brain that would light up when you are lying or telling the truth would be the frontal lobe. This lobe is in charge of an individual’s personality, memory, and emotion that are all things that would be triggered in a lie detector test.…

    While reading the sixth chapter of Howard Zinn, I could not help but notice that the central focus was on women who rebelled against the inequalities women were given post-declaration. My AP History teacher last year, Mr. Hall, used to commonly use the saying “Now ladies… Sorry to say this but until about seventy years ago, you didn’t count for much.” This is a prime example of how the women in the 17th and 18th century felt. They wanted more rights and appreciation than they were given instead of just being commended on their ability to bear children.…

    Well, let’s start with ancient China. “In ancient China suspect were given rice to chew, the idea being that liar’s would be too nervous to salivate so the rice would remain dry”(Gaidos 38). Interesting, I wondered how that work out for them. But how do we know now? “When someone’s lying, subtle changes in the vocal cord are said to occur as a result of the stress, producing a distorted sound wave”(Prusher 1). When people get stressed they sound different I guess. I’m not sure how that works, but it’s not my problem. But there is a guy who is working on making an improved lie detector. Truster’s new lie detector concentrates mostly on stress levels in people's voice by measuring its “cognitive messages” and low-frequency waves that are not audible and are 85% accurate (Prusher 1). So stress is a bad thing whenever you’ve been accused of something. Good to know, I guess if you're truthful and never stressed this test will be a breeze. “Using a complex algorithm and nine different parameters, the inventors say they are able to pinpoint whether the person's stress is caused by lying, excitement, exaggeration, or an emotional conflict”(Prusher 1). Lot’s of big words but basically Truster’s is an inventor who is making a lie detector that is determined by stress…

    This article was very interesting to me because I did not know that Neal Sabin, created the TV station Me-TV. The reason why this is interesting is because I watched a lot of shows with my grandparents on this very same TV station. The shows we watched were famous re-run shows such as Leave it to Beaver, The Brady Bunch, and Mash. Watching these re-runs is important because no one has or shows these shows anymore and that to me is television history. So, enough about how I became interested in the TV station Me-TV lets discuss more about how Neal Sabin created this popular station.…

    Forensic psychology is a vast field of psychology and can lead you in many directions. There are studies where forensic psychologists look at whether children act as more formative than adults in eyewitness testimonies because often the memory of a child is thought to be less reliable than that of a grown person. But, that is not the case, considering they stand more prone in answering a leading question or suggestion given by police officers or lawyers. Are the witnesses or expert witnesses credible? Forensic psychology answers questions like this by being able to read people’s emotions, responses, and behaviours by embodying a series of informed deception detection strategies.…
