MIND READERS

The aim of one company that blends high technology and behavioral psychology is hinted at in its name, WeCU - as in "We See You."

The system that Israeli-based WeCU Technologies has devised and is testing in Israel projects images onto airport screens, such as symbols associated with a certain terrorist group or some other image only a would-be terrorist would recognize, company CEO Ehud Givon said.

Is this possible given what we know about brain scanning? How would you go about testing the accuracy of this device? What do we know about the accuracy lie detectors, hypnosis, and vioce stress analysis? How might this be different?
