Brainwashed. The Seductive Appeal of Mindless Neuroscience.

Neuroscience just isn't ready to be a trusted day to day technology for lie deduction, product marketing and the like.

Remember the amygdala and the amygdala hijack that supposedly occurs when rage takes over your brain? Well, the amygdala is responsible for much more than processing anger. It also processes novel experiences. So what emotion does a lite up amygdala indicate?

If I say "Pin, syringe, thread, haystack, prick. ' and then ask you if you head the world 'needle' Your brain scan will indicate you are telling the truth if you said 'yes'
