what part of law is MRI used in?
Is the Thought Police a reality now?
Edit: on page 3 I think the option should read "People believing they know what you think" rather than "People knowing what you think". Unless you're certain that scans can tell people what you think (which is different to how you feel).

It's already being used as a form of lie-detection in some places, the US and India are 2 that I know of. Some researchers have claimed to be able to distinguish between real and 'fake' memories. I'm not going to get drawn on the debate as it's the field I work in. The point of the survey is to see what the general public think because, as you rightly say, there is more than a hint of Thought Police about some of the proposals that are being aired at the moment.
