Previously, composite images have been created from a verbal description of the suspect, provided by a witness. This is a lengthy process that can be prone to misinterpretation which adversely affects accuracy and therefore also diminishes the chance of locating the suspect. Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if we could overcome these issues by simply reading the witness&#8217; mind?
