Brain Fingerprinting To Prevent Terrorism?
from the hmmm... dept
So, I've seen articles about brain fingerprinting before, and I could never tell whether or not it was "real". I still don't know how I feel about it, but now it's getting some attention in the mainstream press as a way to prevent hijackings. Basically, it's a super advanced form of a lie-detector test that tracks your brain waves. The creator suggests that it doesn't make mistakes, which seems like a pretty bold claim.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
