The practical application of this in criminal cases has the potential to be scary as hell. This is some Minority Report shit.
I know you are going to commit a crime because I can read your mind, now rot in jail.
This is cool, but man it could seriously mess up interpersonal relationships too. No one is truthful 100% of the time, and this has the potential to circumvent that if it can read internal speech patterns (as the article suggests would be possible).
