This is too far!!! Absolutely insane!
Uhh... what hearings, and why? In an area that doesn't recognize the polygraph test as a reliable method of detecting liars, they used MRI scans for what exactly? Best regards, Vulcan. |

Yes, absolutely ridiculous. The technology and understanding of brain function is no where near capable of asserting such things.
It's also a slippery slope, with certain commercial organizations keen to lubricate the incline.

Attempts have been made to use MRI scans as lie detectors or to demonstrate mental health problems in more than 90 capital punishment cases in the US, as well as in other hearings in Europe and Asia.
