This discovery that people can read the output from your brains and can even identify images from it sounds absolutely great. Read here. A step forward for recording peoples memories and watching them ‘offline’ so to speak as in ‘Strange Days‘. In many ways better than TV.
However, I think this could revolutionise Justice. Not the justice we have in the UK of course but real Justice. I bet this could identify whether we are telling the truth or not.

‘Did you kill that man’ ‘No’ *beep*(machine voice)That was a Lie*beep ‘Damn. Caught out’
Now although the recording and playback has a way to go before it is marketable. I bet the lie detector can’t be so difficult. Hope we get one in time for the next elections. Although the repeated *beep*(machine voice)That was a Lie*beep will soon move beyond parody to downright horror.
