This June 12, a murder case in Pune, Maharashtra was solved using brain scan reports as a proof that the verdict was a murderer sentencing her to life imprisonment according to New York Times. The technique used in India makes the verdict to sit silently with eyes closed. Two electrodes are placed on both sides of the head (EEG like module used to measure brain electric waves). Then the investigator reads aloud the details of the crime as per prosecutors and then the suspect tries to visualize it. This creates some patterns of eletrical signals from brain which is then processed by software developed by a Bengaluru firm.

This experiment was first started by US to help counter-terrrorist activities. But this didnt go far as expected. The results are acceptable. But India started using this technique to map suspects brain to crime.

The most awaiting and the biggest experiment so far has been brought down for minimum 2 months due to some technical faults according to zdnet. Reports are that due to large helium leakage caused by meltdown of some mechanical part , experiments have been brought down temporarily for minimum two months for the repair work. Prior this, the experiment had faced a breakdown due to transformer faults. These are all pre-actual tests failures. What if the tunnel melts down during the real experiment or some other damage is caused due to unseen reason? Will this end up in creating some black hole which will eventually end up sucking us all in it? Or will it give birth to a baby earth or a baby star? Lets keep our fingers crossed and wait till THE DAY arrives.
