			<A rel="nofollow" href="http://slashdot.org/~Kaseijin">Kaseijin</A> writes <I>"Neuroscientist Champadi Raman Mukundan claims his Brain Electrical Oscillations Signature test is so accurate, it can tell whether a person committed or only witnessed an act.  <A href="http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/09/15/asia/15brainscan.php">In June, an Indian judge agreed</A>, using BEOS to find a woman guilty of killing her former fiancé.  Scientific experts are calling the decision 'ridiculous' and 'unconscionable,' protesting that Mukundan's work has not even been <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_review">peer reviewed</A>.  How reliable should a test have to be, when <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyewitness_memory">eyewitnesses are notoriously fallible</A>?  Does a person have a right to privacy over their own memories, or should society's interest in holding criminals accountable come first?"</I>
