I think in 2008 there was this Indian case of Udit Bharati who was accused of being killed by his wife through poisoning. They gave her brain scans and said that her brain lit up on certain evidence that only the killer would know of – so she’d be guilty. I remember there being some controversy around it because they said that the cops could have seeded some of that information before questioning to induce this result or something. I think she was released after and I’m too tired to figure out what the legit sources of this are and the conclusion but I think it was a bit of a mess.
This is actually true. They are working on mind-reading interfaces and will hook you up to them.
Apple already has a patent to put them in ear
airbuds.Edit: guess you all know where my mind is at without the mind-reading ear thingies.
The one I used was a repurposed EEG. It was not very accurate, but I didn’t shave my head.
ML has brought it a long way. User-generic commercial production seems close.

Right now I think the application is starting from controlling iTunes (play, pause, skip). Who knows how far it might go with more research

They will likely be powered by LLMs and thus just as faulty, if not more, than traditional lie detectors.
And likewise, people in management will believe them outright without questioning them…
Wait until you go to prison for them.
