Score one for science: Brain Scans to Diagnose Schizophrenia
Brain Imaging can identify schizophrenia before symptoms develop
I'm going through one of those phases in my life where religion seems so ludicrous that I shouldn't even have to point it out. Anyway, gee golly whiz. Science has contributed something new to the world that's going to make life better for lots of people. That brings the total of life-enhancing scientific improvements to somwhere around ten million.
As far as I know, religion's still stuck at zero.
How long is it going to take before people notice a connection?
Atheism isn't a lot like religion at all. Unless by "religion" you mean "not religion". --Ciarin

Noo! they're closing in... i must... i must stop them, before they reveal us... yes... stop them... i must
I REALLY hate testing like this, all it does is analyzes "likelyhood" and then shove pills down some poor sods throat for the rest of his life. Ground breaking indeed. >.> that being said, it is still 1 step ahead of religion

Haha! I think that's the internet addiction wearing off.
Anyway, as nigel said earlier, "colour me unsurprised".
PS - brilliant idea from the researcher to use facial recognition as the test. Really brilliant. I'm assuming that would work equally well in the early detection of autism, as well.

I'm pretty sure they've been doing emotion recognition in autism research.

I just had my brain scanned to help out with some autism research conducted by a friend. He's using "behavioural recognition" - my phrase, I'm sure not the correct term - to try and find the differences between autistic and non-autistic brains.
Quite frankly i signed up for the free IQ test and the chance to play around with a 3D model of my own brain, but I'm now quite glad that I've helped out. Hopefully it leads somewhere.
