A recent finding showed that COMT genotype was related to performance on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test of executive cognition [ 55 ] . In addition, those subjects with the Methionine alleles needed less prefrontal cortical activity, as judged by fMRI, to show the same level of performance on the N-back task.
In light of this, bioethical concerns about fMRI applications should perhaps be viewed not as predictions of a certain future but rather as worstcase scenarios, a reminder of what we want to avoid.
In the late 1980s, neuroimaging experiments made possible the examination of activity in localized brain areas, first through the use of injected radionuclides detected by positron emission tomography (PET) [12] and later through the use of an externally imposed magnetic field in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) [13].
For now, at least, given the problems inherent in current fMRI technology, the neuroethical nightmare scenarios of widespread brain scanning seem unlikely to come to pass, at least until radical advances make it far cheaper, much less invasive, far less sensitive to subtle perturbations, and with a much more robust ability to legitimately extrapolate from a finding about a group to a prediction about an individual.
While to Greely's knowledge fMRI evidence hasn't yet been used in court, “it's certain to be tried,” and the barrier to its admission will fall as both the reliability and the ease of administration increase.
