Emerging neurotechnology offers increasingly individualised brain information, enabling researchers to identify mental states and content. When accurate and valid, these brain-reading technologies also provide data that could be useful in criminal legal procedures, such as memory detection with EEG and the prediction of recidivism with fMRI.

Ancient color-terms can be difficult for us to understand because of the temporal distance between our world and that of antiquity. This study of Roman color-terms covers a great deal of territory, from the occupations that created the colors, to the people who wore them, and how they used them in public and private life. Romans attached nuanced implications to color-terms which went beyond their literal meaning, using these terms as a form of cultural assessment, defining their social values and order. By using color, they were often making judgments about social class, gender roles, and ethnic groups, and so maintaining the status quo. By analyzing the use and color words in specific contexts, we can gain greater insight into the Roman mind.
