At the start of the month, I took a brief two-day trip down to San Diego for a couple of stories. The first was checking out UCSD’s 3D ‘holodeck’ and massive multi-gigapixel displays. Mind-blowing stuff (the hat isn’t a fashion statement but helps the system know where I’m standing to deliver the most convincing effects).
The afternoon saw me cycle over to the magnificently named Space and Naval Weapons Research Centre, where I learned about the latest developments in autonomous robot security guards. San Diego isn’t exactly a pretty town but I liked this Naval cemetery out on Point Lomo.
In the morning, I went out to the sleepy beach suburb of La Jolla to expose myself to a magnetic field 60,000 times stronger than the Earths – all in the name of journalism of course.
No Lie MRI thinks it can spot lies 93 percent of the time using high-powered (and expensive!) MRI scanners. Here is my brain lying – or is telling the truth? Can’t tell? Unfortunately, neither could No Lie MRI. An interesting experience, though, and a good interview.
