Jeff Goldblum had it right...
“You were so preoccupied with whether you could, you didn’t stop to think if you should.”

60 Minutes needs to do a follow-up after 11 years and to find out where are they with this Mind Reading.

Where's the update to this? Probably advanced enough that they can't talk about it anymore

[CaliKing]

I just noticed this was from 2009, imagine how far ahead they are now after 10 years.

No government under any circumstances should be allowed to read people's minds. The right to 'thought-privacy' must be protected. Thoughts can and should only be 'revealed' 'voluntarily.'

Something strange happened to me the past week. I was thinking about something and then when I went onto YouTube an advertisement of this product popped up. It actually happened twice. I did not talk about it with anyone I just thought about it. It was very eerie

If you use a Smart Phone or a Credit Card or a Debit Card then you are being watched.... No cat scan needed

[cyndifoore]

That’s some scary stuff there, and for them to do this covertly is despicable.

[lisad]

I have just two words to write about this: "Minority Report"

[wk]

There are very similar and more advance system used for centuries also extremely accurate. Its called your wife.

[myjoebody]

Makes me think of Orwell's Thought police in 1984. This is messed up on so many levels.

[ofiasdfnosdf]

Wow mind reading! How exciting! What could go wrong? After all, we all know how people handle power in such a noble and selfless way.

[louiselasinski]

Wouldn't it be cool if this was a requirement before running for public office. Lol

[janeck.]

All this and a microchip for everyone too. What a wonderful world this will be.

In 1974 the defense contractor Dorne and Margolin received a patent for an "apparatus" that remotely monitors and alters brain waves.

Google Patents lists the patent. First sentence reads: "Apparatus for and method of sensing brain waves at a position remote from a subject whereby electromagnetic signals of different frequencies are simultaneously transmitted to the brain of the subject in which the signals interfere with one another to yield a waveform which is modulated by the subject's brain waves."

This was in 1974!!!!

So much worse than this Dianne. You wouldn't believe. Check voice to skull communication. So unbelievable.

[coopsy]

There’s a group of people that already have this technology and they put false information and memories in your mind. They can also control the human body with it right down to hormone levels. And they’re keeping this tech to themselves. They can also control time. They live in the past, present and future. The possibilities are endless with this tech yet they keep it to themselves. The lives that could be saved with it is astounding. But they’re choosing to use it for bad intentions unfortunately.

I haven't watched this I have to work and I can't watch everything sent to me. They will be able to read your mind because they are able to put things into your mind. They will just read the seed they plant into your mind. That is why you have to be very careful what you let into your head visually and unfortunately they will place frequencies through other ways other than visually. There is a trick to so much. This world is crazy beyond belief. I praise the good Lord above:)

[twilamariemillercochran]

It's not the MRi trust someone is probably reading your mind. Ask yourself how. Gang stalkers can do all kinds of things look up voice to skull and read the book thank you....

[dorisreynolds]

Only thing mind reading is good for is people who can't communicate. Other than that it's terrifying.
