University of Tartu cognitive and law psychology professor Talis Bachmann and doctoral candidate and lector at the Estonian Academy of Security Sciences Inga Karton carried out experiments to determine whether it is possible to affect the likelihood of lying by stimulating the human brain.

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (a part of the brain neocortex) regulates short-term memory, plays an important role in directing intellectual processes, and also takes part in morality-related decisions. This region has also been shown to play a significant role in several deceptive activities, including cheating and lying.
