I have posted several things (see here and here) as of late about the two recent high profile court cases involving the admissibility of neural lie detection. The case that has garnered the most attention is United States v. Semrau. The United States Magistrate released his recommendation yesterday. In short, neural lie detection was deemed to be inadmissible. During the hearings, Marc Raichle and Peter Imrey--speaking independently as experts for the state and not as representatives of the LANP--testified against the admissibility of CEPHOS fMRI lie detection. The court relied heavily on their testimony. It also cited an article by LANP members Hank Greely and Judy Illes and another article by former LANP post-doctoral fellows Emily Murphy and Teneille Brown in reaching its decision.
The complete recommendation can be found in the following attachment:
