Brain Research Raises Boggling Issues

"Terry Harrington had served more than two decades for the 1978 murder of a Council Bluffs night watchman when the court reversed the conviction. Something called 'brain fingerprinting' convinced the court that the 'records' in Harrington's brain did not match the scene of the crime or the details of the case."
Ummm, this is something that one would like to know a little more about... it could go either way, no?

information here... results are "highly accurate"... nowhere do they say perfect. So, it could be a factor... there is a bit of a "lie detector" aspect to it, baseline and all, but apparently less subject to willpower, self deception, implamted memory? dunno.
