Motorcycle-Type Helmet to Aid Law Enforcement by Scanning a Person’s Brain for Previous Knowledge

A “mind reading” helmet which scans your brain to identify signs of previous knowledge about any incident or a person has been developed.

Veritas Scientific's CEO, Eric Elbot's device is a futuristic motorcycle-type helmet containing metal brush sensors that will read brain activity as images.

Brain Exercises to Improve Memory
An active brain can certainly help in improving memory by strengthening the connections between neural impulses in brain.

Scientists have shown that familiar images prompt spikes of electrical brain activity that indicate recognition. Recognition indicates memory, and memory implies knowledge.

Veritas's goal is to create an electroencephalogram (EEG) helmet with a slideshow of images that could reliably help to identify an enemy.

"The last realm of privacy is your mind," Discovery News quoted Elbot as telling IEEE Spectrum.

Head Injury | Brain Injury Overview Types Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment
Head injury or traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of disability among children and young adults that leads to varying degrees of physical and mental stability. Fortunately, it is also one of the preventable brain disorder.

"This will invade that.

"The helmet would be similar to a motorcycle helmet, though I'm envisioning more of a Daft Punk-style head piece. However, there will be no Digital Love pumping through the helmet, only metal brush sensors that will read brain activity as it responds to images flashed across the visor.

About Brain Tumor
Brain tumors are the abnormal growth of brain cells that may be benign or metastatic. Brain tumors account for about 2.4% of all the tumor diagnosesandare most challenging due to their critically delicate location.

"Under the guise that recognition indicates memory and memory implies knowledge, Veritas' aim is to develop an electroencephalogram (EEG) helmet that registers spikes in brain activity triggered by familiar images" he said.

Elbot said he envisions the technology will be beneficial with law enforcement agencies, in criminal trials and corporate takeovers.

Eventually, he says the technology will be available as smartphone apps for civilians.

"Certainly it's a potential tool for evil," Elbot said.

"If only the government has this device, it would be extremely dangerous," he added.
