Cog FX is not yet admissible in court. They are trying to promote it for that purpose but according to Frye standards (general acceptance) and the more recent Daubert standards, it is a long way from court evidence levels.

Those expert witnesses would need to argue their qualifications and the evidence of the fMRI before a judge. It is called a Daubert motion.

Cog FX appears to be looking for legal opportunities to argue its validity in court.

Other systems with much broader use and acceptance have tried to get past this level of court acceptance.

Just don't use their comment about offering it to legal cases as any sort of validation.
