Brain Scans As Lie Detectors?

[mtbopfuyn]

Okey dokey, so how does it distinguish between those who believe their lies and those who feel guilty when innocent?

Even at this device's estimated 90% accuracy it would still be problematic. Until we reach the accuracy levels of DNA testing, this should never be allowed in court. 1/10 being wrong is not that great.

A scan wouldn't be any more useful than a polygraph if the person being scanned is a pathological liar who believes his own bulls*** or has sociopathic tendencies.

Put everyone in the FBI, CIA, and NSA through this.

I have been told that you can lie to a polygraph if you know the trick, and have found out that you can. this will be no different, you will just have to learn the trick.
