Summary
The invention is said to relate to the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging to make an informed decision about the racial bias of an individual under test. The MRI system was described as a head-mounted arrangement, with not detailed explanation of how such a system could be achieved given that MRI systems are known for their lack of portability. The application was refused for insufficient disclosure of the invention and a lack of clarity about the nature of the invention.
