The current great use for this technology is that people in medical fields would gain a reasonable way to assess whether or not a patient is faking pain — perhaps in order to get narcotics. My question is not only "How good will this pain detection become?" but I also wonder the extent to which other sensations might be assessed this way. With discreet facial monitor perhaps such technology could somewhat quantify how good/bad a given life happens to be, though I would expect direct neurological sensors to ultimately be far more useful. <br /><br />Such technology does fall right into the lap of an extreme Utilitarian like myself, however. For the past couple of months I've been raising quite a storm on Peter's "Conscious Entities" blog, which is a great "pure philosophy" site for anyone interested. ---- <a href="http://www.consciousentities.com/" rel="nofollow">Conscious Entities is here.</a><br /><br />Philosopher Eric --- <a href="http://physicalethics.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">My own site is here.</a><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22093933.post-25871497932701141342014-04-02T14:59:54.794-05:002014-04-02T14:59:54.794-05:00Wow ... the places technology is taking us.
