Wanted: Trust Detector
It's good to dream: IARPA's five-year plan aims to design experiments that can measure trust with high certainty -- a tricky proposition for a psychological study. Developing such experimental protocols could prove very useful for assessing levels of trust within one-on-one talks, or even during group interactions. A second part of the IARPA proposal might involve using new types of...

"Noses are prominent facial features and yet their use as a biometric has been largely unexplored," said the University...

It is also how the right of privacy was first established...
