1. A method of interpreting cognitive response comprising:
- collecting baseline neural activity data that maps a neural activation absent a stimulus onto neuronal structure of a subject brain of a plurality of subjects absent said stimulus;
exposing each of said plurality of subjects to said stimulus;
collecting stimulated neural activity data that maps a neural activation during said stimulus onto said neuronal structure of the subject brain from each of said plurality of subjects while each of said plurality of subjects is exposed to said stimulus;
plotting a unique three-dimensional cognitive engram representative of a common stimulated neural activity caused by said stimulus from said plurality of subjects to a level of voxels; and
compiling said cognitive engram in a database containing a plurality of engrams, each of said plurality of engrams associated with a different stimulus for interpreting cognitive response.

Abstract
A method of interpreting cognitive response to a stimulus is disclosed. The method includes collecting baseline neural activity data from a subject absent a stimulus. Neural activity data is collected while the subject is being stimulated through exposure to a stimulus. A unique three-dimensional cognitive engram is then plotted representative of cerebral regions of stimulated neural activity caused by the stimulus. A novel graphical representation is plotted in three dimensions to indicate the brain region response unique to that stimulus.

19. A method of questioning a subject comprising:
-
(a) exposing a plurality of control subjects to a known truthful question; (b) collecting stimulated neural activity data that maps known truthful neural activation during exposure to the known truthful question onto neuronal structure of a subject brain from each of said plurality of control subjects; (c) plotting a unique truthful question three-dimensional cognitive engram representative of a common truthful neural activity associated with the known truthful question from said plurality of subjects to a level of voxels; (d) exposing said plurality of control subjects to a known falsehood; (d′
) collecting stimulated neural activity data that maps known truthful neural activation during exposure to the known falsehood onto neuronal structure of a subject brain from each of said plurality of control subjects;(e) plotting a unique known falsehood three-dimensional cognitive engram representative of a common falsehood neural activity of the known falsehood from said plurality of subjects to a level of voxels; (g) exposing said subject to a question of unknown truthfulness; (h) collecting stimulated neural activity data that maps the question of unknown truthfulness neural activation from said subject during exposure to the question of unknown truthfulness; and (i) comparing said unique unknown data that maps the question of unknown truthfulness neural activation as being more closely aligned with one of said truthful question three-dimensional cognitive engram or said known falsehood three-dimensional cognitive engram. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
