Reading minds

Neuroscientists are starting to decipher what a person is seeing, remembering and even dreaming just by looking at their brain activity. They call it brain decoding.

In this Nature Video, we see three different uses of brain decoding, including a virtual reality experiment that could use brain activity to figure out whether someone has been to the scene of a crime.

As awesome as it would be to watch some of my dreams again... most of my dreams I probably wouldn't want anyone else to see.

The really scary thing is that this technology will be wildly unrefined to start out with, and so you will see innocent civilians receiving life sentences for crimes they didn't commit.

i know what you mean but don´t start with an argument with "if nature wanted...". nature doesn´t know what it wants - it´s not a person. it´s a system to complex to predict. everything in it constantly evolves. technology is a part of this evolution and if someday we can read the mind of a person - it won´t happen "unnaturally".

Wow, just think of how relevant are advertisements will be once this technology is implemented!

lol let's not develop technology for law enforcement

I respect everyone's right to have an opinion. I don't respect the opinions themselves, especially if they're moronic.

what if the program is lying. what if the program got it wrong and took data that was similar and interprated it as the same. that way, you coud have been in one real house and seen one your not been in and the machine may think the real one is the one you more recently seen as one and the same. that means that in a crime investigation, you could be targeted guilty even if innocent by a mistake done by a machine, as the machine could not tell the difference between somthing real and somthing imagined.

Og no like new "fire" technology! What if somebody set Og luxurious flowing hair on fire when Og sleep! Og no like this at all! If raw goat good enough for Og parents, then raw goat good enough for Og too.

[carlsbad]

I do not have the ability to read another person’s mind

[emmagao]

I still don't quite understand how they decode the dreams and the things the subject has seen. Can someone please explain? Thanks ;)

Yeah cool its amazing, its interesting salute . But i don't like it and i dont think its accurate, yeah its ok as long as its only a machine but ive heard and read also that scientis opening the theory that people or them " can read peoples mind without any machine come on! Yea its awsome but its like tend to judge people . Thats fuckt up! And ill try my best not to read and just fucking respect peoples oppinion and relay just on fucking evidence than to read peoples mind its fucking judging people.
