It would be fascinating to see if these results can be replicated. And to see if other “tendencies” can be predicted by machine learning using brain scans. Interesting and scary. Minority Report may be nearer at hand than expected.

Short note: if someone tells you that fMRI can be used to whatever, you should definitely first call bullshit, and then look at the design. If you are still interested, look at the stats. But usually, calling bullshit is enough.
