on the streets... I guess not.]]>Jan 30th 2006 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/
The cops can't even keep evidence straight around here, DNA is a million years in the future, and now they want to probe deep into my cranium to see whether or not what I have to say is worth half a cent. If they can't find any other evidence to prove a suspect guilty, then what they find with this is meaningless.

This should only be tested on politicians until they get all the kinks worked out. Definitely a lesson in abnormal psycology there.]]>Jan 30th 2006 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/
I mean, one of the progenitors of "the glove debacle" couldn't possibly have no clue what he's talking about in regards to advanced biosciences...could he?]]>Jan 30th 2006 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/
Didn't I see this same type of technology in an episode of "Alias" once?

This has the potential to nicely complement current lie detecting systems (polygraphs). My fears are twofold: 1) is having this technology allowed in courts as evidence, while polygraphs are not. Both technologies have a less then 100% hit rate, so it irks me that we'd rely on them in a court case. 2) having the feds get their hands on this technology for suspected terrorists. God forbid they start throwing people in the brig based solely on imperfect brain data.

The problem is however, that atm, each scan costs around £500-700 per scan, not cheap.]]>Jan 30th 2006 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/Jan 30th 2006 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/

MRI machines arent a dime a dozen, and I would bet that the average defense team is not going to pony up the cash to get a MRI unless the staple of a large case.

"change ... our ability ... to invade what has been the last untouchable sanctuary, the contents of your own mind,"

So, basically he's saying "those who can lie should be able to get away with it, because those are some impressive skills." Ridiculous. These machines should be limited to murder, rape, theft, embezzlements, etc. I wouldn't suggest this for divorces or whatnot, then it might get nasty. Don't let Judge Judy get her hands on one of these, that's for sure.]]>Jan 30th 2006 9:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/Jan 30th 2006 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/
Remember George Costanza from Seinfeld, "It's not a lie if you believe it."]]>Jan 31st 2006 2:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/30/with-mri-lie-detectors-your-brain-gives-you-away/
