Lying:
Social and Neurobiological Aspects
Keywords:
Lying, Dissimulation, BehaviorAbstract
In the context of interpersonal interaction, in which behavioral features such as gestures, facial expressions,
body posture, and voice modulation are used, there is the phenomenon of lying, which is characterized by the dissimulation
of ideas, feelings and emotions. This study carried out a theoretical survey about lying, describing some of its behavioral and
neurobiological aspects and analyzing the publications on the theme in Brazil. The implications of the use of lie evaluation
techniques in legal contexts, as well as the baseless beliefs used in trials are discussed.The literature review revealed a small
number of studies on the subject in the Brazilian context, indicating the need of expanding this research field in the country.
