Phi for All Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 As I understand it either the Germans are Russians are working on reading ones mind, and I for one cannot understand how. Any information on that? consciousness one ! Moderator Note This is the Science News section. Do you have a link to the news story, so folks know what you're talking about?
Sirona Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Are you referring to the reading of brain waves? They can already transfer neural signals into speech, although not very accurately so you could hardly call it mind reading. 1
Sensei Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Movie or image is presented to group of people who are inside of MRI or other such device. Then from data from MRI computer algorithm is trying to figure out what people watched.
The Angry Intellect Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 The Germans & the Russians are not the only ones working on a technology that will allow others to "read" a persons mind, as the others have already replied with which is correct, there are many different kinds of "brain reading" research that is going on in different countries. In the not too distant future, we will have machines or interfaces that hook-up to a computer which can be used to record your thoughts, even predict what your thinking about, what you were imagining and even what words you have in your mind and what kind of feeling your going through, hate, love, fear etc.. If you do some searching around on the internet, you will find many studies that are taking place in relation to all of this.

The Angry Intellect Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 And people think they have no privacy now... too true. However the current technology being used cannot be used at a distance or without your knowledge, they would have to physically strap you into a chair or make you lye down and put you through the scans while hooked up to electrodes, so for the time being, we are all safe.
