Brain Fingerprinting

[red team]

Can't lie now because this thing actually detects your brain waves when you engage in the act of lying. Its your brain biology vs. technology and tech. wins.

I think this will be useful against criminals as well as careerist bureaucrats and stealth Capitalists like "Libertarians":

I think this is possibly the foulest intrusion into a persons privacy possible.

eh, its not like a cat scan, its probably possible fake it by raising your baseline responses, the way people resisting conventional lie detector tests do it. Like, if you deliberately exaggerate the amount of stress caused by the sample lies (like they'll ask "have you ever cheated on a test" or something, you say "no" and exaggerate the amount of stress it causes, establishing a high baseline for how you respond to lies, and then when they ask "are you the 20th hijacker" or whatever, you say 'no' and even if your response suggests some tension it would be beneth the amount thats established for how much you respond when you're lying, if that makes sense). Since the brain wave stuff is basically another measure of the same thing i'm not sure how it would avoid the same problems.

Huh? :huh:

It's just a tool, but if it's suppose to be 100 percent accurate and so far it's proven to be accurate even against skilled liers then it can be useful in cases where the police tries to railroad you for something you didn't do. Read the article in my first link. Official police reports were suppressed for the accused. if somebody actually hid something or used deception this is a great tool to uncover the truth.

Quite interesting. A test more difficult to cheat than the conventional lie detector.

It can't actually read someone's mind.
