Maybe they'll be capable of mapping out a persons dreams. I think that would be very interesting to see. I for one, can never remember my dreams, unless I write them down as soon as I wake up. I think I've only had 2 very vivid dreams in my life. | ||

But, why not?I don't know much either, but judging from the OP writing would involve changing blood flow in specific places in a specific way, which doesn't sound very plausible, whereas reading it is pretty easy (the hard part for that is knowing where to look and how to interpret it, which seems to be the breakthrough here). | ||

the main problem with this is that the comp learns by seeing the reaction of the brain. the most straightforward way of teaching the computer is to show it everything that the brain would react to, and so it can interpret anything the brain "experiences". now obviously that's impossible, it would take ages to show a brain every possible stimuli. it stands to reason that there will be similarities b/n stimuli...we all make connections between objects. case in point - i'm sure a certain song will remind u of something, like a song can remind u of a dance u had with a girl or something along those lines. the brain will react not only to the song, but also the memory of that event that the song reminds you of. so, the problem is differentiating b/n these two different brain reactions. and then of course one has to consider that the connections in everyone's brain is different. no two ppl have the same brain. true, the letter "A" will probably incite a very similar neural response b/n any two ppl, but will it be similar enough for the computer to determine that both ppl are seeing an "A"? only time will tell. personally, i'm not sure i agree with the advancement of this technology. sure, it'd be nice to see exactly what an artist does, but if this is used on witnesses for a crime, i can see problems arising. nobody's memory is perfect, and how would one tell if what the brain is "seeing" from a memory is actually what occurred, or if it's partial truth mixed with imagination? if the brain itself doesn't know if it's lying, would those centers of the brain that are associated with lying show any activity? as for this technology being used to force an image into someone's head; this has nothing to do with that. to do so one would have to incite the exact same activity in the brain as would have occurred if they had actually seen that image...which isn't exactly possible with current technology. so at least we don't have to worry about that | ||

No seriously, if this shit comes to pass that we can record our dreams.. every living and dead hot celebrity will have a fucking scandal with each one of us...  This will be the new era.. every single movie in hollywood would be sucking balls because our dreams have better action packed films in them... Non-addicts can now relate to the crack/meth addicts since they can show what they been hallucinating about.. This is the new world.. This is the new YouTube! | ||
