A Structured, Defensible Methodology

Our work is designed to support investigations, legal strategy, disciplinary processes, risk assessment, and informed decision-making. It should not be treated as a substitute for legal advice, laboratory evidence, or a full investigation.

Confidential Case Review

We review the background, allegation, evidence, legal context, and suitability of the proposed assessment.

2

Suitability & Scope

We define the relevant issue, assess whether the matter is suitable for examination, and agree clear terms of reference.

Forensic Assessment

Where appropriate, a structured polygraph, investigative psychology, or behavioural assessment is conducted using defined professional protocols.

Expert Report & Consultation

Findings are presented in a clear report explaining methodology, results, limitations, and relevance to the instructed issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does The Centre for Forensic Neuroscience do?
The Centre provides forensic polygraph testing, credibility assessment, investigative psychology, cyber psychology, behavioural analysis, and expert reporting for legal, corporate, government, sports, and private clients.
Who instructs the Centre?
Instructions may come from solicitors, counsel, corporations, government bodies, sporting organisations, investigators, regulators, and private clients requiring confidential expert assessment.
Are polygraph results admissible in court?
The evidential role of a polygraph examination depends on the legal, regulatory, or tribunal context. Our reports are designed to assist investigations, legal strategy, disciplinary processes, and expert assessment, but polygraph evidence should not be treated as a standalone substitute for legal advice or wider evidence.
Can you provide expert witness reports?
Yes. Where appropriate, the Centre can provide structured reports explaining methodology, findings, limitations, and relevance to the instructed issue.
Do you work with solicitors and legal teams?
Yes. The Centre accepts confidential legal instructions in matters where credibility, behaviour, memory, integrity, or risk is central.
Do you accept urgent or international instructions?
Yes, subject to availability, suitability, and ethical considerations. The Centre can advise on timing, location, scope, and reporting requirements.
Is every case suitable for a polygraph examination?
No. Suitability depends on the nature of the allegation, the examinee, the available evidence, the questions to be tested, and the legal or investigative context.
How confidential is the process?
Enquiries and instructions are handled discreetly and confidentially. Information is only used for the agreed professional purpose and subject to applicable legal, ethical, and data protection obligations.
