Mind reader

Some years ago, it was necessary for me to undergo a number of medical procedures including a CAT scan and a brain scan.
The brain scan was to be done using MRI. To try and lighten things up somewhat before the MRI examination, I asked the doctor if she was going to be looking at my thoughts. She sternly snapped back at me: "This is purely organic."
Oh, well. Not any more. Don't Even Think About Lying: How brain scans are reinventing the science of lie detection. Wired
