| A simple brain trace can identify autism in children as young as two years old, scientists believe. A US team at Boston Children's Hospital say EEG traces, which record electrical brain activity using scalp electrodes, could offer a diagnostic test for this complex condition.

| I think everyone should watch it. It can show us there's one more gate to explore, and one more hope left for those who really suffer because of their disorders. |

| Developmental disorders in children are typically diagnosed by observing behavior, but Aditi Shankardass knew that we should be looking directly at their brains. She explains how a remarkable EEG device has revealed mistaken diagnoses and transformed children's lives. Aditi Shankardass is pioneering... |

| I have a lot of homespun ethics ideas that the mainstream seems to ignore. For example, when somebody gives you a job, you each sign a contract which defines the rights and responsibilites of both parties. Now to my mind, neither side has any right to unilaterally change that contract, not ever. I ... |

| Don't you just love a cat purring or a dog approaching you to be cuddled? Now imagine the same behavior from a human. We don't really know how a savage human would behave, but the ones who are educated ever since they're born have motivations in their actions. At least most of them do. So that affec... |

| This is something which has always been part of my life to be honest. But I must say it turned much harder when, some years ago, I spent a huge amount of time thinking about what it is and what's the best procedure to get the answers. Justice obsesses me.
