Vincent Clark, of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, thinks he has something like a crystal ball for drug addicts. By applying traditional psychiatric evaluation and modern fMRI brain imaging to people recovering from drug addiction, he claims to be able to spot who is likely to relapse — months before the relapse actually happens. One of Clark's methods involves a game called 'oddball task', which is common in addiction research. (source: nature.com)
