Well, I do know one thing that will probably result from this. People who have fear they might be subject to MRI based interrogation will probably arrange to have tiny pieces of metal implanted in their bodies. (Terrorists are good at that, after all...) It will become a rite of passange. The interrogators could perform surgery to remove the metal, but this is surely a physically invasive procedure and changes the analysis of the paper. Indeed, if fMRI became a common interrogative technique for civilian matters, ordinary people might start doing this. They could voluntarily consent to removal of the metal if they needed an MRI. But it would make it harder to travel on planes. ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
