Possible solutions to such vexing problems like:

1. How Hillary got her name, and

2. The exact location of John Kerry during Christmas 1968.

H. Beam Piper rides again:

The Veridicator

“There was a bright conical helmet on his head, and electrodes had been clamped to various portions of his anatomy. On the wall behind him was a circular screen which ought to have been a calm turquoise blue, but which was flickering from dark blue through violet to mauve. That was simple nervous tension and guilt and anger at the humiliation of being subjected to veridicated interrogation.”

Can this technology be of use to victims of Repressed Memory Therapy?

I know some people who went through that, and it was unbelievably destructive.

I do believe head trauma is classified as a neurological d/o do to the damage done to the brain during the “accident” which would result in problems in the similar area of the brain.

You are right in that TBI isn’t the first thing we think of when we talk about neurological d/o’s.

Probably correct. It is possibly a technical term being used technically rather than a common term used in the usual mishmash.

My apologies, I do not know the answer to that question. This is out of my areas of expertise.

This is research only. Any applications are likely years away.

Um, so how do they know the signals they observed that supposedly show false memories don’t just reflect a lack of confidence in the answer? The answer is, they don’t really know that.

That is why it is called “research”. Previous and newer research will help build the knowledge in this area. This is not climate change “research”. :)

Funny how the ‘gamma’ rythms are between 50-100 cycles per second.

Like 60 cps. 60 Herz. Same as all our house current, and the rate at which light bulbs switch on and off, per second.

Hmmmmmmmmm........

This should be applied to everyone who makes a rape accusation. It could be a very good tool at finding out who’s deliberately/consciously making up a false memory of an event.

Of course, I wonder if it pings on false memories when the people actually believe the false memories occurred. “A lie isn’t a lie if you believe it.” - George Costanza
