Understanding how humans evaluate credibility is an important scientific question in the era of fake news. Source credibility is among the most important aspects of credibility evaluations. One of the most direct ways to understand source credibility is to use measurements of brain activity of humans performing credibility evaluations. Nevertheless, source credibility has never been investigated using such a method before. This article reports the results of an experiment during which we have measured brain activity during source credibility evaluation, using EEG. The experiment allowed for identification of brain areas that were active when a participant made positive or negative source credibility evaluations. Based on experimental data, we modeled and predicted human source credibility evaluations using EEG brain activity measurements with F1 score exceeding 0.7 (using 10-fold cross-validation).

相信谁？在来源可信度评估中理解和建模大脑活动

了解人类如何评估可信度是假新闻时代的一个重要科学问题。来源可信度是可信度评估中最重要的方面之一。了解来源可信度的最直接方法之一是使用对执行可信度评估的人类大脑活动的测量。尽管如此，以前从未使用这种方法调查过来源可信度。本文报告了一项实验的结果，在该实验中，我们使用 EEG 测量了来源可信度评估期间的大脑活动。当参与者做出正面或负面的来源可信度评估时，该实验允许识别活跃的大脑区域。根据实验数据，
