Scientists in Germany are using MRI to locate the electrical patterns in the brain that indicate a person's intention even before they perform a given action. Has a creepy air of Minority Report (incidentally the last movie I have and will see with Tom Cruise), doesn't it?
I suppose the potential to corrupt and misuse information is present in most innovation but it's nice to know that psychology and psychiatry (I assume this is also, or particularly, true in Germany) follows strict ethical guidelines in pursuing knowledge... which isn't to say if these scientists achieve their goal, someone, even our fearsome leader, wouldn't misuse the end product...
Maybe it's like Nirvana said: Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you...
