Make someone stand on a very high wall, say on top of a building or something like that and ask them to keep walking even if it looks like the edge is near. If the person stops at the edge, there you go, thats a proof that the person was thinking. If he walks off the edge, he's suicidal.

Well, they hook people up to an EEG and watch the brain activity that occurs and measure what happens when a person is told to not think and when they're told to think.
The PET scans also allow us to see that certain areas of the brain "light up" with activity when we're thinking.
An interesting thing they've found is that if you SEE something, the EXACT same area of your brain lights up as when you just THINK ABOUT and IMAGINE that same object. So our minds don't differentiate between "real" and "in our minds" - our brains react exactly the same to both.

Watch them VERY CLOSELY. Do they get up and go to the bathroom or do they sit there and piss all over themselves?
