Ok, so I zoomed in, and I can read all but the top blue bubble. Any ideas? Also, I mean it. I'm planning on buying an iPad on Wednesday, and if I could get those peripherals and that app, I'd be set for life :) |

It's been a while since I did neurosciences, though I gotta admit it was always my favorite course. The act of remembering something, to your brain, is functionally no different from the act of imagining it. So, when a person is making something up, the parts of their brain that light up are the same parts that light up when someone is telling the truth. On the other hand, MRI scans can show hot spots indicative of emotional responses, even temporary ones when someone throws the person being interrogated a curve ball. That combined with changes in skin temperature, pupil dilation, alteration in bloodflow, micro-expressions, and visual accessing cues can make a lie detector, but it would be contextual because it requires an operator's interpretation. It's hilarious that he's getting texts while it's going on. He and Rachel are using it to exchange notes through their chips, right? |

If you can't live without me, why aren't you dead yet? I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too. If God wants all the credit, he's getting all the blame. | |

He's not an agent, so maybe he's just typing? Or... maybe that's what the green doohickey on his collar is :) |

She could be combining brainwave reading with physical readings - pulse, blood pressure, etc., like a polygraph. Of course polygraphs themselves are garbage, but I could imagine being able to do more by being able to take it all in as sensory information rather than as machine readouts. Plus it's multiple EM spectra - so like MRI plus EEG plus CT plus who knows what. |

So this is one of those situations where science sufficiently advanced becomes indistinguishable from magic? (Always wanted to use that quote!) |
