Neuroscientists have learned to accurately identify people with mental health problems through film "Alice in Wonderland" by Tim Burton. Not to be confused psychopath with a normal person, it is sufficient to place a test subject in a magnetic resonance tomograph and include him the film, says "RIA Novosti".

In the experiment was attended by 46 people who were treated by a psychiatrist, and 32 absolutely healthy and adequate person. It turned out that the area of the parietal lobe of the cerebral hemispheres in patients and healthy people quite responds differently to the vivid and surreal shots of the Burton films. Test subjects who had mental disabilities, differently put myself in the place of the characters in the movie and see the fairy world. To calculate the patients were managed with a fairly high accuracy of 80%.

In the future, scientists will be engaged in the verification of other movies and more in-depth study of "Alice" as early diagnosis of mental disorders.
