Psychic computer shows your thoughts on screen

[Stevenator]

'Scientists have discovered how to “read” minds by scanning brain activity and reproducing images of what people are seeing — or even remembering.

Researchers have been able to convert into crude video footage the brain activity stimulated by what a person is watching or recalling.

The breakthrough raises the prospect of significant benefits, such as allowing people who are unable to move or speak to communicate via visualisation of their thoughts; recording people’s dreams; or allowing police to identify criminals by recalling the memories of a witness.

However, it could also herald a new Big Brother era, similar to that envisaged in the Hollywood film Minority Report, in which an individual’s private thoughts can be readily accessed by the authorities.'

It's funny how movies do seem to predict the future but at the same time i believe that if you can imagine it, you can create it so i think our imagination is literally coming to life as technology advances.

I believe the movie you speak of is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

^^that movie was the shit. but it really has nothing to do with the topic at hand. that movie was about erasing memories of loved ones and regrets you regret regretting.

[CoochCream]

right but they were able to locate where images were reproduced and were able to erase them..which is pretty relevant

i know theres countless movies about reading minds..so put that in your pipe and smoke it..literally

Some of the concepts they use in Minority Report are pretty disturbing if you think about the possibility of similar technology being developed in the future, I would probably just shoot myself in the head if I had to live a life where the Government has access to your thoughts and reaps the advantages by advertising geared specifically towards your likes/dislikes. The whole concept of that movie makes you think. HARD lol
