Brain Scans Can Predict How You'll React to a Movie Scene"CRASH! A deafening roar and the cinema screen explodes with light.

Does this make sense based on what we know about neuroiamging? What techniques are they using? What do the data say? How is this related to the what researchers are doing in terms of lie detection using scans? Is this ethical?
