His email at Penn is langlebe@mail.med.upenn.edu.<BR/><BR/>You could also write or call No Lie MRI as their website has full contact information.<BR/><BR/>I am guessing that the truth is that (a) he genuinely worries that commercialization will stunt scientific explorations, and (b) he doesn't want to miss out on the adventure of commercialization, given that if he doesn't get involved in it, others willAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-1139001599012405762006-02-03T13:19:00.000-08:002006-02-03T13:19:00.000-08:00The Neurocritic is a cynic and reacted in mock hor...The Neurocritic is a cynic and reacted in mock horror to the apparent hypocrisy.

(and holding the patent for fMRI lie-detection software).<BR/><BR/>But why is it disturbing to the Neurocritic? One can conceive of a number of reasons for Langleben's apparently contradictory behavior:<BR/><BR/>1. He really believes that commericalization of lie-detection software will hurt our understanding of the science of fMRI lie-detection, and he wants to be on the board of No Lie MRI to minimize this (the principle here is that if he's not on the board, someone else will be, and he can at least have his ethical concerns aired).<BR/><BR/>2. He hypocritically warns against premature commericalization to allow his company to have at least an initial monopoly. <BR/><BR/>Other?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
