Truth Machine to Ease Information Retrieval
Wired reports that two companies, Cephos Corporation and No Lie MRI (catchy) are launching commercial services using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to detect whether you (think you are) telling the truth or not. If you intend to deceive, the fMRI image of your brain shows your amygdala, rostral cingulate, caudate, and thalamus light up in a characteristic “lying” pattern. No Lie MRI is even setting up a network of convenient “VeraCenters” across the country to serve your truth-telling needs. Let us bid a not-so-fond farewell to those dark days of yore when Information Retrieval Charges could mount up even if you were trying to help fight the terrorists.
