Brain Scanner Can Read People's Intentions

Vainglorious Coward writes "Reality continues to catch up with Nineteen Eighty-Four with the announcement of the development of a brain scanner that can read a person's intentions. 'It's like shining a torch around, looking for writing on a wall,' said the leader of the project, Professor John-Dylan Haynes . Demonstrating his own mastery of doublethink, Haynes continued 'We see the danger that this might become compulsory one day, but we have to be aware that if we prohibit it, we are also denying people who aren't going to commit any crime the possibility of proving their innocence.'"

You're a troll. These people have their own funding and Germany/Europe has more. The Max Planck Gesellschaft has set up institutes likes this to avoid this kind of problem. Just check the facts before submitting. And Siemens and Philips build quite nice scanners, thank you.

No, your precious DHS dollars are safe. Go and fund your own research now.
