Brainwaves To Be Used As Identification

* 'Pass-thoughts' are the new fingerprints

OTTAWA -- Canadian researchers hope to soon be able to use brain waves to unlock doors and get access to bank accounts.

Some companies are already offering iris recognition systems that many countries want to put into biometric passports. But Julie Thorpe, a researcher at Carleton University in Ottawa wants to take the idea much further.

She says it is possible to do away with key cards, pin numbers and a litany of other security tools that allow people to retrieve bank money, access computer data or enter restricted building.

"A user would simply think their password," said Thorpe, who hopes to develop the first biometric security device to read your mind to authenticate users.

I do know that the new version of lie detectors uses brainscans... basicly it can see which areas are being used when you are asked a question.... when telling the truth you dont have to use as much of the creative part of your brain....
