The paper analyzes international sources on neurophysiological markers of deception. The paper covers the development of deception research methods: from early experimental approaches to the use of modern neuroimaging techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The paper deals with the psychophysiological aspects of deception — in particular the relationship between physiological (e.g., heart rate variability, sweating) and psychological processes. The paper also considers the analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) data, since EEG makes it possible to track changes in brain electrical activity during deception. The study of prefrontal cortex activity helps to understand the complex relationships between brain function and external behavioral manifestations. The paper systematizes the knowledge about the neurophysiological markers of deception, focusing on analyzing the studies dedicated to the relationship between the activity of various brain regions and the cognitive processes occurring during deceptive actions. The author pays attention to a critical understanding of methodological approaches to studying brain electrical activity using EEG, identifying the most promising vectors for future research on topic. The author substantiates the importance of an interdisciplinary approach that combines neurophysiology, psychology and criminology for a comprehensive understanding of the deception phenomenon and practical applications in the fields of lie detection and forensic examination.
