In what may be hailed as one of the most significant scientific advances of all time,

researchers have discovered a use for Adam Sandler and Brussels sprouts.

Because when you look at pictures of celebrities like Sandler, along with dishes like sprouts,

your brain responds differently than anyone else's.

That unique pattern of brain activity, the neural equivalent of a fingerprint,

can be used to identify you with perfect accuracy.

So say scientists in a study in the journal I-Triple-E transactions on information forensics and security.

Last year, this same team published work in which they recorded subjects' responses to a series of words, like pediatrist or sluice. Because people's brains respond differently to terms with which

they are familiar, and no two people have the exact same vocabulary, showing someone enough

words should produce a pattern of neural responses,

in other words, a brain print, unique to that individual.

Indeed, the researchers found they could pinpoint one person out of a group of 32 with an accuracy of 97%.

But given the work's potential security applications, think Pentagon Entry or Nuclear Weapons

Command, the researchers wanted to push the technique further to achieve absolute certitude.

So they decided to throw in picks of foods and famous folk about which people were likely to
