Dedicated to the communication of news, science, and information of interest to the brain mapping community, and to sharing and promoting the science of brain mapping.
  The purpose and goal of brain mapping is to advance the understanding of the relationship between structure and function in the human brain. Scientists in this field seek to gain knowledge of the physical processes that underlie human sensation, attention awareness and cognition. These results are immediately applicable to surgical intervention, to the design of medical interventions and to the treatment of psychological and psychiatric disorders.

At left: Manipulation of Brain Mapping Results

Bangalore, March 20The woman who conducted alleged rapist Abhishek Kasliwal's brain mapping test in Bangalore on Saturday claims three Congress men came to her soon after the test and asked her to manipulate the results.Dr S Malini, a forensic psychologist, said the men told her: "Please manipulate the results and certify Abhishek as innocent. His family's reputation and pride has taken a beating.The scientific tests have a lot of credibility and people will trust the report." Dr Malini, assistant director of the Forensic Science Laboratory, said she immediately ordered them to go away.Abhishek (26), the son of Shriram Mills owner Ambuj Kasliwal, has been accused of raping and assaulting a 52-year-old woman."I told them to go away and not to return again with such requests. They said that Congress leaders from Maharashtra had contacted their leaders in Karnataka and sought help. I had to rudely show them the door," said Dr Malini.When asked if she found out more details about the men, she said, "I was very upset with them, so I did not continue the conversation."Reacting to the allegation, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee general secretary Prakash said, "We Congress-men never indulge in such acts. I do not know about the incident. If there is any specific complaint, we will look into it."
