"ALGORITHMS: Brain Power Boosts Gamers, but Could Also Indict Criminals"

Researchers claim that the best gamers have bigger brains, but that tapping thought power with neurolaw could incriminate suspects against their will. Look for more and more accurate brain scans opening a window on our thoughts and intentions in coming years. R.C.J.

Researchers this week revealed that the best video gamers could be reliably predicted by measuring the size and weight of their brain. The new study in the journal "Cerebral Cortex" claims that performance on a video game can be correlated with the volume of specific brain structures in the cerebral cortex. Separately, the new journal "WIREs Cognitive Science" claims that a new field called "neurolaw" could determine suspects' guilt by "reading their minds" from brain scans
