9、ldrens fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses dont grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.Dr. Emilio Gmez Miln and his team developed a lie detector (测谎仪) test that usedthermography (

10、热成像仪) to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2 while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5. Scientists also found that drop in temperature at nose level act

11、ually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is unnoticed by the human eye.“One has to think in order to lie, which increases the temperature of the forehead,” Dr. Gmez Miln explained the findings. “At the same time, we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose.”For this

12、study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal imaging technology, including making a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, a partner or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to make up the lie by themselves during the call

13、, and the thermal cameras picked up this “reverse Pinocchio effect” caused by the fluctuation (起伏) in temperature in the nose and forehead.Interestingly, the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any m

14、odern lie detector. Its suggested that law enforcement interviewers should one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.

18、 for more than a centurywhat exactly causes mental illness?In the hope of finding the answer, scientists have piled up a large amount of data over the past decade, through studies of genes and brain activity. They have found that many of the same genes underlie seemingly distinct disorders and that

19、changes in the brains decision-making systems could be involved in many conditions.The researchers are also rethinking theories of how our brains go wrong. The idea that mental illness can be classified into distinct, separate categories like “anxiety” has been disproved to a large extent. Instead,

20、recently theyve found that disorders shade into each other, and there are no hard dividing lines.The researchers are trying to understand the biology that underlies mental illness. They have a few theories. Perhaps there are several dimensions of mental illness, so depending on how a person scores o

21、n each dimension, they might be more likely to have some disorders than others. An alternative idea is that there is a single factor that makes people easier to suffer from mental illness in general. What disorder they develop is then determined by other factors. Both ideas are being taken seriously

22、 though the former one is more widely accepted by the researchers.The details are still unclear, but most researchers agree that one thing is specific: The old system of categorizing mental disorders into neat boxes does not work. They are also hopeful that, in the long run, replacing this framework

The researchers aim to reveal, for instance, the key genes, brain regions and neurological processes involved in psychopathology(精神病理学), and target them with treatments.
