They said in the article, "George and colleagues recently reported that the technology spotted lies in 28 out of 31 volunteers." I don't believe this will be the miracle 'detector' unless it's 100% effective and at present it's no better than the polygraph.

It's been around in the news a lot lately. I still don't know enough about it, and this article doesn't help. They caught 28 of 31, but did they wrongly lable three or end up with three INCs? There's a big difference. It doesn't appear they tested it on any truthful people. Although, I would hope they would have done so. Does anybody know the real numbers?

At least they admit they still have no idea of what it can and can't do.
