Καινοτομία

New research has shown that the part of the brain that is activated during dishonesty responds less and less to each subsequent lie, providing a new explanation as to how a seemingly innocent white lie can often have the tendency to spiral out of control.

If you lie once, you’re probably likely to lie again. This is the blunt conclusion of a study recently published in the journal ‘Nature Neuroscience’. In essence, telling small, insignificant lies desensitises the brain to dishonesty, meaning that lying gradually feels more comfortable over time.
