as someone in this thread pointed out, the model is overfit.

I did my thesis on EEG signals, also having a very idealistic view of what could I do with it, only to find that even the most basic of tasks is hard to classify (even to find motor cortex movement intention signatures (if you want to move left or right hand)).

This work will not go into the real world in this stage, as it is badly done and most certainly having multiple flaws in the implementation, rendering it unusable in the real world.

So, don't get too stressed out about this, if it happens, it will be about 20-30 years from now. And keeping in mind how slow the law enforcement technology moves forward (aren't most of them still using windows xp and vista?) I would count more like 30-50 years.
