Answer to Question 1

The potential uses of brain fingerprinting by law enforcement officers are to assess
the subject's knowledge of a crime scene or of the instrumentalities or fruits of a
crime, and it can also be used to assess knowledge of the particulars of an alibi
scene or sequence of events. Brain fingerprinting is considered to be as reliable as
chance. I would expect its status in legal testimony to remain controversial, similar
to that of polygraph testing.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
