At the pace technology is moving, it can get pretty scary at times, especially when you know scientists are now working on a machine that is capable of figuring out a human’s intention before it results in action. Apparently our brain’s prefrontal cortex region is activated whenever we are about to make a decision. All I know about the prefrontal cortex region, I learnt from Brain Age on my DS. A successful implementation will definitely see this device being made available in courtrooms and interrogation chambers. Will there be a new set of laws drafted to prosecute a person who has the intention of commiting a crime but does not follow through? Interesting times are definitely lined up ahead of us.
