    Case I: Nancy, an airline pilot, arrived promptly for a routine physically. She was asked to lie down and place her head in a large metallic torus. While a video screen flashed a series of images before her eyes of a 747 cockpit, a view of target seen through a rifle scope, a photo of Bill Clinton. In an adjacent room, a technician watched colourful images of Nancy's brain appear on his computer screen. As the test ended, the technician forwarded the results to Nancy's employer. On next day, Nancy was confronted by her supervisors. They informed her that, she might develop "schizophrenia" and had a surprising familiarity with assault rifles as well. The agency revoked her pilot's license. The airline promptly fired her.

    This is a technique nowadays emerging as a boon to read the brain for handling criminal investigations and screening potential employees. Now everyone wonders how the technique " Brain Fingerprinting" works. Answer is here.

    The system that performs brain finger printing resembles an electroencephalogram (EEG) under computer control. In a test, the subject is sealed infront of computer screen, wearing a headband with EEG sensors. A series of words, sounds, or images is presented. Some of these are called "irrelevants" (unrelated to crime), which forms a baseline of activity for unimportant information.

    Others are target stimulate phases or images that the subject has been told to pay particular attention to target act as a baseline for information noteworthy to the subject. Finally, there are "probes" details of crime under investigation that an innocent would have no knowledge of, such as a picture of a sofa on which a murder victims body was found. Microvolt electrical signals that correspond to brain activity known as event related potential (ERPs) can be measured on the scalp. Distinctive ERPs occur when murder might respond to the probe targets and irrelevants using a computer algorithm, researcher draw a final conclusion.

    Mind reading will end all privacy and result in many bad consequences. Presently, at least our thoughts are private and we control our expressions. But if our mind is read by others, there will be no need to even speak. Mere thinking may result in many disputes and quarrels.
