A P300 test is a brainwave-based lie detection method that measures what your brain recognises — not how nervous you feel. It is fundamentally different from a traditional polygraph and significantly harder to beat.
When your brain encounters a piece of information it already knows — a name, a place, a detail from an event — it fires a specific electrical signal called the P300 wave, roughly 300 milliseconds after seeing or hearing that information. This response is generated deep in the cortex and is completely involuntary. You cannot choose to suppress it, in the same way you cannot choose to stop your pupils reacting to light. If the brain holds the knowledge, it fires. Every time.
We place a lightweight 8-channel BrainBit EEG headset on the person's scalp — no needles, no gel, no discomfort. During the test, we present a carefully designed sequence mixing three types of items: target items the person is told to watch for, irrelevant items that have no connection to the case, and probe items — details that only someone with guilty knowledge would recognise. The EEG records the brain's electrical response to every single item in real time at millisecond precision.
If the person genuinely does not know the case-relevant details, their brain treats the probe items exactly the same as the irrelevant ones — no recognition, no P300 spike. But if they do hold that knowledge and are concealing it, the brain fires a strong P300 response to the probe items, regardless of what the person says out loud. The difference between these two patterns is measurable, repeatable, and forms the basis of the result. Published research puts the accuracy of this method at approximately 90–95%.
A polygraph measures secondary stress responses — heart rate, blood pressure, sweat, breathing — all of which spike when someone is anxious, regardless of whether they are lying. This means innocent but nervous people can fail, and calm liars can pass. The P300 test sidesteps this entirely because it does not measure stress at all. It measures memory recognition — a cognitive process that anxiety, medication, breathing techniques and deliberate countermeasures cannot influence. That is why research consistently shows P300 EEG outperforming the polygraph by a wide margin.

This is why Oxford clients choose P300 brainwave testing over a traditional polygraph. One produces a clean, unmistakable scientific signal. The other produces noise.
Clean spike at 300ms — recognition confirmed. Involuntary. Cannot be faked.
✓ One clear, measurable response. Scientific. Objective. 90–95% accurate.
Chaotic stress signals — sweat, heart rate, breathing. Anxiety looks identical to deception.
✗ Noisy, subjective, ~60% accurate. Innocent people fail. Guilty people pass.
The P300 spike is a neurological fact — not an interpretation. When the brain recognises information it shouldn't know, it fires. Every time. No amount of nerves, medication or counter-measure training can stop it. That is why clients in Oxford are choosing P300 EEG over the polygraph.
Peer-reviewed research accuracy rates for each method. The difference is not subtle.
Accuracy figures based on published peer-reviewed research. P300 EEG data sourced from Farwell & Donchin (1991), Rosenfeld et al., and subsequent independent replication studies.
A traditional polygraph straps sensors to your chest, fingers, and arm — measuring sweat, breathing, and blood pressure while you sit in stress. Our P300 EEG test uses a single lightweight headband that reads brain activity directly. No discomfort, no intimidation, and it's over in under 90 minutes.
People book lie detector tests in Oxford for many reasons. Our role is not to judge, but to provide clear, objective data so you can make informed decisions.
If trust has broken down, a P300 lie detector test can help confirm fidelity or uncover deception. We work with couples who want closure, evidence and a way to move forward—together or apart.
Employers and small businesses in Oxford use our tests when money, stock or data has gone missing. We can test one person or a small group, and provide clear written reports for HR or internal investigations.
Being falsely accused can be devastating. Many clients in Oxford use our P300 lie detector test to show friends, family or employers that they are telling the truth, backed by independent scientific evidence.
While no lie detector test is a replacement for a court, some solicitors and legal teams in Oxfordshire use P300 brainwave reports as part of a wider case strategy. We can liaise with your legal representative if required.
A lie detector test is a serious step. We will always be honest about what P300 EEG can and cannot do so that clients in Oxford make an informed choice.

Every lie detector test in Oxford is conducted by a certified, experienced specialist — not a subcontractor examiner.
Lead P300 EEG Examiner — Oxfordshire Region
Mathew has over 11 years of experience in deception detection, having worked across personal, corporate and legal cases throughout the UK. He holds specialist certification in P300 EEG brainwave analysis and is trained in the full BrainBit 8-channel EEG system used on every Oxford appointment.
Before founding DeceptionDetection.co.uk, Mathew spent seven years working alongside solicitors and HR investigators on complex fraud, theft and misconduct cases across the Oxfordshire area. That background means he understands the difference between evidence that satisfies curiosity and evidence that holds up to professional scrutiny.
All Oxford appointments are led personally by Mathew or a directly supervised member of his core team — never handed off to an unknown subcontractor. You will be told exactly who is attending before the day.
"Most clients arrive nervous — they think they're walking into something clinical and intimidating. My job is to make the process calm, clear and fair for everyone in that room. The science should speak for itself, and a good examiner makes sure it does."
