Brain Fingerprinting: Does it work?

[cynatnite]

I had never heard of this before and after reading this article:

I checked a few others. It sounds promising.

1. Go science! Go Science! Go Science! This is just like DNA

or better. This will save millions of lives over the years. This is wonderful news.

Where can I get one!!

Do they take volunteers?

I asked for this 7 years ago.:bounce:

2. 100% accurate???

I am very skeptical of a person who claims that "some tests were 100% accurate." If the tests have 100% accuracy then all of the tests would be 100% accurate. So why does Dr Farwell claim only some of the tests are 100% accurate, and if not all the tests are 100% accurate how can you determine which ones are accurate and which test are not accurate??? I don't accept this new scince...

3. Oh for sure the science is new. But like DNA.. give it some time

to be hashed out and yes it will be almost 100% accurate. Sorry - in my enthusiasm I forgot myself. This is only the start. But can you imagine being able to prove your innocence. Think of all the people it will help. They already say they can tell if someone is lying or not the same way. This is all great news.

How wonderful.
