Human being is the most intelligent species among all known creatures, because they have an amazing brain. Human’ brain is very complex and elusive, even though, the most intelligent brain ever, Albert Einstein’ brain was just developed a little more than 12 percentages. So brain is always unsearchable. But according to a new research published in journal science, a neural technology let mind reading become possible though detecting brain activities by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). However, brain-mapping still has positive and negative effects.
This technology has many positive effects. First, it is helpful to some people with mental diseases. It can help scientist study mental disorders, alcoholism, aggression or pedophilia, and find efficient methods to cure those patients. Second, it can help justice department in criminal investigation. Usually, a guilty suspect will show recognition in his mind, but an innocent suspect will not. Third, scientist can create a data base of this technology, which will be helpful to study and exploit human’s brain. There are many another useful applications of this technology. On the contrary, brain mapping also has many negative effects. The most important, this technology is still in the experimental stages and not well developed, so sometimes it cannot works. And the data base of the brain-mapping is still not completed. At present, it is impossible to widespread this technology.
Brain-mapping technology has many negative effects, especially some unethical abuses; we can predict and overcome these potential effects. First, a standard of how to use this technology legally and ethically should be set. It is necessary to protect people’s privacy. And we should also determine its reliability, particular in criminal judgment. Under a well-control situation, brain-mapping can be well made use of.

Well, you have mentioned the usage of brain mapping. But I still think brain mapping has a long way to go. Weither it can be put into use in these areas is unsuspected. On the other hand, ethical problem is the biggest barrier of the developing of brain mapping
