Ear can be used to diagnose certain mental illnesses



[A] ... research group here in Australia has just demonstrated how a probe inserted in the ear can be used to diagnose certain mental illnesses when the patient is moved incertain ways in a '3D' chair! They make use of the proximity between certain auditory functions and other mental functions in the brain.
