This multidisciplinary research project, funded by Universiti Sains Malaysia, investigates bribery practices in Malaysia from a neuroscience cognitive perspective. The study examines how enforcement officers/government agency officers and laypersons think about and respond to corruption by combining behavioural assessments, brain imaging, and eye tracking technology.         

Through surveys and interviews, the project first maps the psychological traits and attitudes that may support corrupt behaviour. It then goes deeper,using EEG and eye tracking to observe how the brain and body involuntarily react when individuals are confronted with bribery-related scenarios. The ultimate goal is to combine these multiple data streams using deep learning to develop a predictive model capable of identifying bribery tendencies, contributing to both the scientific understanding of corruption and practical tools for prevention and intervention.
