NGUYEN: Glad to have you on board. We'll talk to you soon. There's a new twist on an old invention. That's the focus of CNN's latest look at new frontiers. Our technology correspondent Daniel Sieberg introduces us to a 16-year-old who has made lying something to be proud of.</s>DANIEL SIEBERG, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Ben Stiller worked hard to beat this lie detector test from his future father-in- law in "Meet the Parents." However a new invention by 16-year-old Trisha Pasricha of Houston could make the old fashioned polygraph obsolete. It's an award winning science project that measures stomach activity.</s>TRISHA PASRICHA, INVENTOR, STOMACH LIE DETECTOR TEST: My father is a gastroenterologist and my mother used to work for the FBI and so when you put the two together I came up with the idea of using the stomach for a lie detector. The lie detector test involves using an electrogastrogram or an EGG and it's used by connecting electrodes to the surface of the stomach and it picks up on the electrical rhythm to see if there's any change when you're lying or telling the truth.</s>DR. JAY PASRICHA, UNIV. OF TEXAS MEDICAL BRANCH: This is a subject that's a natural fascination to everybody, everybody lies or has tried to lie at some point. And everybody is also aware of the fact that you get butterflies in your stomach when you're nervous.</s>SIEBERG: The study has only tested 16 subjects, Trisha is hoping this is just the beginning.</s>TRISHA PASRICHA: UCMB (ph) has applied for a patent. And so what will hopefully happen is that we'll get funding for research and then maybe one day it will be implemented on a large scale.
