NIR shows the benefits of telling the truth

Researchers at the University of Toronto have used functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to show that a reward given for telling the truth gives people greater satisfaction than the same reward given for deceit. These studies were published recently in the neuroscience journals Neuropsychologia (doi: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2012.12.018) and NeuroImage (doi: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2013.10.023).
