2005. The American Journal of Bioethics 5(2):62


Abstract/Extract
While the deception detection devices surveyed by Wolpe et al. (2005) are still in the early stages of development, I agree with them that future applications of these new technologies demand, that “[f]or the first time, we...need to define the parameters of a person’s right to ‘cognitive liberty,’ the limits of the state’s right to peer into an individual’s thought processes without his or her consent.”
