Being that lie detectors are complete wastes of space, law enforcement needs, you know, something that actually works. That something could well be brain fingerprinting, which measures brainwave activity to determine if someone is telling the truth or not.
VentureBeat puts it in easy-t-understand terms. Imagine you viciously murder someone with an axe. Then, when the police are questioning you, they show you a photo of an axe. Naturally, your reaction to that photo of an ace would be totally different to someone who didn’t just murder someone using an axe. Then, using all sorts of fancy policing, including Vic Mackey-style tooling up, the police are to determine to a greater degree if you’re lying.
The method is still in development, and the company behind the technology, Brain Fingerprinting Technologies, says about $25 million in funding is still needed to perfect it.
MINORITY REPORT!!
I think if I were brought into a police station and a detective pulled out an axe, my brainwaves would pretty much be crapping neurons all over the place if I did it or not.
So what happens with the false positives if the person is a cold blooded killer or enjoys killing. I think they should be measuring other things!!
