aChris Benoit-the Canadian wrestler who killed his wife,child,and then himself- 
had a damaged brain and this could have accounted for his violent behavior.
This discovery became possible because Chris' dad gave permission to brain 
scientists to examine his brain.
A few years ago permission was also given for brain scientists to examine the 
brains of Carmelite  nuns who passed away in their 90s and did not show signs 
of Alzs.
This post-morten method seem  to be a growing practice as we seek to understand 
the brain and behavior.
What are the chances of committing Type 1 and Type 2 errors in this type of 
deductive processes?
