Magnetic Resonance Imaging has moved from the labs into social terrain. Brain Waves, a Corante blog, writes about neurodating. “It is foreseeable that functional images of the brain could be used to facilitate courtships by assessing personal compatibility.” I’ve filled out more mind-numbing personality profiles than I care to admit, and I can’t wait to put on paper underwear, lie down in a cool room bathed in blue lights and have my personality scanned, uploaded and matched through the Compata3000 augmented profiling system. What’s 29 dimensions of compatibility when you can have 2.9 billion?

As for personality assessments, they can be quite accurate and useful if they are actually grounded in scientific research. They might be mind-numbing, but are they really more time consuming or mind-numbing that the offline dating scene?!!!! In this day and age of instant gratification, we have become spoiled!
Thanks
