A balanced story. Wired explains the science behind the fMRI, weighing the potential uses against scientific and ethical questions about the machine.

90 percent? Screw the other ten percent. Off with their heads. This article is well written and sourced, by opposing sources. You're going to put someone in prison with so may differing opinions? Sleep tight!
I would dare this company to take this test to a prison, and test it on psychological liars, murderers, and serial killers. I doubt it would even work on trained soldiers.

Good story, loads of experts, nice depth, explains the pros and cons and hopes for the science. Explains it might be useful in court at some point or under certain circumstances.
As for me..a 90% accuracy isn't great, an electronic gadget should never be used as the detyrmining factor when dealing with someones freedom or life. When it reaches the accuracy of DNA we can talk more.
