  • I was VERY impressed, don't you worry.

  • You're a very handsome airplane...

  • White People : We look like Airplane

  • Medical? HAHAHA. This could be used to ask a murder suspect about a killing, then by comparing the images the brain flashes up from the subconscious to the murder scene one could determine whether or not said suspect has intimate knowledge of the crime.

  • It's not really mind reading if they had them watch clips prior to their analysis. I say they should hook them up without showing them anything, and THEN see what they are thinking.

  • @capsule56 Right. If they are the same clips, then this is a classic newbie mistake in machine learning: learning your training data. In any event though, it looks like they can actually make some sense of our brain waves in terms of images. Of course, they might not be images... who knows what we are thinking... but this is still very disturbing. Just recently I had convinced myself that we wouldn't be able to do this for a very long time... boy was I wrong

  • Pebble in the Sky...

  • 1:10 nowhere man

  • So I got to thinking... if I had flying cars ten years ago (strictly taking into account that I do not have any now) I wouldn't be able to appreciate their innovation AS MUCH as I would in present reality. So my wish for the future is that people may always appreciate what they have and have gained from science. That is unless science is about to kill us all. P.S. IF THAT HAPPENS, Hank the Airplane will be the military commander and lead the fleets and we'll all die at his fe.... wings, I mean.

  • not freaked out. i think this is awesome.

  • This is so late.. dude.

  • posted on my bday :D im 12 now :D

  • you DO look like an airplane!!! :D

  • Wife: Whats this dream you had ):< HM??!!??!

    Husband: What dream?

    Wife: THIS DREAM *plays* ~strange hot girl...boobs.....shit like that~

    *husband* hmm, ? ...play that again..

  • *Puts on aluminum foil hat*

  • D: I STILL WANT BRAIN PRIVACY >:( NOOBS

  • was right]

    

  • awwww mannn in no time evey ones gonna end up fucking runing around with ten foil hats to block the government holy shit the crazy homeless guy

  • Hahah 1:10 looke like that guy reminds everyone of MythBusters xD

  • OH Shit

    Im Screwed

  • mind fucked .__. XD

  • SO.....

    You can dream of a really awesome porno that you wish was really then watch it later! Now thats what i call homemade porn! Heheh :P

  • O.O; Ok... this cold NOT possibly be used by the government for there own purposes other than actually HELPING people... nah!

  • DREAM PORN! :-P

  • JESUS

  • So, this will be in use by parents on teens, well, I don't want to see my parents and my dreams. That would be creepy, even creeper than stalking. This is just another way of us to be controled.

  • I'm gonna have stoned+melatonin dreams, and record them.

  • Oh boy, only a matter of time before:

    1. All of our thoughts are sent to a government controlled data bank

    2. This process is reversed, sending other peoples' thoughts into OUR brains!

    Oh boy...

  • @NotATubeSurfer true

  • @NotATubeSurfer Wait wait wait wait wait WAIT!!!! You mean telepathy? AWERSOME! Just think how easily your girlfriend could understand you? You know guys, that might sound like a bad thing--girls catching you looking at other girls--but you won't have to think so hard answering questions like, "What are you thinking? Do you really love me?" Because most often times we do love them, they won't turn into crazy PSYCHOB****ES and kill us. Thank you.

  • @trivestar I was thinking more like tyranical overlords that want us to obey their commands...but I think you're onto something too here... WE gotta start working on shutting our brains off at will!

  • @NotATubeSurfer its ok though! once they invent the matrix we can play with puppies all day! and kiss hot babes!

  • @astrovan14 Yay blissful enslavement!

  • i want to see the dreams i forgot, but id rather keep some of my thoughts private. For societies sake...and the women around me. (If you saw chapelles show youd know what I mean)

  • "So like, If I... were to show up in one of your dreams, you could record that dream and send it to me! But DON'T DO THAT because that would be creepy. :)" made me laugh

  • The sicence show .piano!smash.whos idea was this. its from asdfmovie4

  • @212Assain you can do that through hypnosis, although I'm not entirely sure how well it works.

  • i can read minds now OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH

    people are either saying that this is bullshit or that if jesus

    christ saw this then they would surley go to hell

  • Oh god, for me this would be a living nightmare, especially in school.

    Teacher: Ok class, so now you see in this diagram... excuse me, miss?

    Me: ...Yeah?

    Teacher: Why are you thinking about Silent Hill?

    Me: Uh- Um- You got it all wrong I was picturing an aroplane. O.O'''

    Thank godness I'll most likely be a crabby old lady when and if this stuff comes out.

  • No, I'm freaked out.

  • Amazing! Science is at an all time high.

  • You know, I would love a device that could record our dreams and thoughts! Then I might not be as forgetful and I would actually prove to myself that I actually do have dreams!

  • Anyways, I am very impressed by this new scientific attempt to read someones mind by utilizing incomprehensible methods! As of what I said earlier, you don't need all of this scientific attempt to read someones mind. What I've said in the comment ↓below↓ may sound ridiculous to most people, but it shouldn't. Again, I look forward into the development of this scientific attempt to actually look at what the human is thinking, instead of probing into the humans expressions.

  • You sound like Tobuscus 

  • This is science to the extreme! You don't need all of this technology just to know what the human is thinking, but by analyzing their behavior towards something, you will know what they're really thinking. I mean, I literally "read" someones mind by utilizing this method. First, they were going to steal my brunch in 7th grade, but when I told them to stop right before they did it, they thought that I read his mind. Then I guessed what color they were thinking of, and I got it right! Impressive!

  • But... then they'll know bout bad things... things that will turn them and the world insane. Just. Like. Me.

  • The science show! Piano! Whose idea was this?!

  • How did I get from Jeff Dunham to here???

  • 20 years... more like 100 years

  • i never think of that

  • THE SINGULARITY IS NEAR! O.o

  • @bsmTheDude hmm yes, quite.

  • stink

  • What if a teacher knows how to read minds and she knows were not focusing in class.... That would kinda stick.

  • this. is. amazing.

  • my head hurts from all the siantific  words!

  • how is this featured on turtle beach headset videos

  • Papa Smurf sucks

  • oh crap im dead!

  • It would be kick ass to perfect this shit and then videotape your mind while you're sleeping and then blow 8 hours of the day just watching what you dreamed.

  • why don't they try to read the brain of a comma patient yet...

  • I think you look like Janet Reno

  • Ha ha hell, this is scary as f*@%... For liberals image Dick Cheney with this technology perfected, or Obama for conservatives!!!

  • i REALLY want too see the dreams i forgot

  • @212Assain try dmt ahaha

  • @212Assain Me too. >< I CAN'T WAIT TILL WE CAN RECORD OUR DREAMS!

  • @212Assain If My Parents Saw My Old Dreams, They Would See My Old Crush Getting Eaten By A Shark, Not Something I Wanted Them To See...

  • @Chalktaw2011 okay now one little question why am i freaked out now

  • @212Assain how do you know you want to see the dreams you forgot if you don't remember what you saw?

  • Comment removed

  • @highline128 i would put them on camera and then put them on a computer

  • Comment removed

  • what would they think if they are reading a book

  • tupuc back

    

  • 58 people had their minds read.

  • science is gonna notice that everyone thinks of murder....BAM

  • That will be remarkable..

  • The first thing i thought when i saw this was: THE THOUGHT POLICE ARE COMING!

  • What if ur watching Porn then....yea

  • "Science is coming for your brains"

    Oh my. Science=Zombies. The invasion has begun!

  • All I have are nightmares so yeah...I wouldn't want to see them again xD

  • I was impressed...

  • too bad its impossible to sleep in a fMRI lol XD

  • Yay for Hank dreams! :)

  • You can make an aluminum foil helmet to sheild Your mind from mind readers !!! Look it up on here !!!

  • when do i take 5 hour energy? when im watching this :)

  • Is it just me, or is the government going to use this tech to fuck with our privacy.

  • Whenever I get paranoid about someone reading my mind I always say "don't think of naked girls" but then I always do...

  • i like when a top comment replies to another and that one comment is also a top comment :)

  • My question is how would they translate the dreams of people born blind? Also have u ever seen a cat who was given a drug that counteracts the natural hormone thing we have that keeps us paralized in our sleep? When its asleep its so very funny. It acts out its dreams win!

  • @pieisgood125 People that are born blind have dreams that dont have any pictures. No colors or black/white. The only things that show up in their dreams are stuff that they can feel, hear, smell, or taste. Therefore these computerized images would be black or blank I guess.

  • @eruption144 How do you know?

  • Hey Hank... YOU WERE IN MAH DREAM!

  • The science show!

    Piano!

    SMASH!

  • @NSMBking LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • @NSMBking Who's idea was this?!

  • @WeeTubaGirl you mean "whose"

  • @zakquack Sorry :) Grammar gets a little hazy at 3 in the morning :P

  • @WeeTubaGirl Oh I didn't mean to be a grammar nazi... In fact, I don't really care... Just trying to help your technique. It seems like a pretty rare lesson..

  • @NSMBking who's idea was this?!

  • WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS?!?!

  • @NSMBking "WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS?!"

  • @NSMBking "WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS!!"

  • @NSMBking "WHOS IDEA WAS THIS?!"

  • Knowledge=Money=Power

  • Cant wait to record my dreams !!!

  • I'm gonna send them hank, check your email. -:)

  • Gimme a break with all the privacy nonsense on this. That's a total non-sequiter. Nobody is afraid of this technology, why? Because everybody genuinely wants it.

    Honestly, imagine if we could share our dreams with each other. The entire paradigms of human communication, ambition, and art would evolve. Millenia of toiling by billions throughout the ages to communicate our ideas, our dreams- now we could share them. Could understand so much about ourselves.

    I want this to happen. Who's with me?

  • @SilvrDragon52 I want this so I can save pictures of my wet dreams.

    What?

  • @SilvrDragon52 I agree that this technology would be revolutionary, but being disturbed by it isn't "a total non sequitur." Many people have thoughts that they'd prefer didn't become public, so privacy is an issue with this technology. On the opposite side of the communication revolution coin, we'd have new threats to security, new threats to privacy, and even threats to free will.

    Of course, none of that hasn't happened before, so I say bring on the mind-reading machines.

  • i want to know what my dog dream too ahah :)

  • Im a constant lucid dreamer, so this news is hitting me harder than anything iv seen for a while >:D

  • If only George Orwell could see this...

  • Pure 100% BS.

    It'll never happen.

  • Hah. That isn't that much knowledge. They won't be able to actually use it on anyone. But I understand it is their dream. Maybe in year 4012 but I don't think the earth will be around then.

  • 2:04 THAT.. WOULD BE AWESOME!!!

  • Comment removed

  • aperture science...

  • this sounds awsome

    

  • God doesn't exist...

  • creepy shit

  • thats kinda cool :D

  • Your thoughts are your one true possession. If you're smart, you'll guard them closely.

  • great, another way for government to violate privacy

  • inception; we will be able to create anything.

  • hole ie shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

  • When we can record a cow's dreams and basically be able to see through their eyes, how many people are going to be vegetarians? I'm not a vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination, but I still think one day eating meat will be against the law.

  • lol 1:30 george lopez!! 5 right from hank!!

  • I have a question about the fmri. Is the data they are extracting in the form of a wave or is it an image like a traditional mri.

  • but isn't our governments technology 50 years ahead of us...?

  • um... how is this the featured video? its boring!

  • None of you want this. You all would be like "the horror the horror"

    Extreme vulnerability that would lead to extreme abuse. Then the people that abuse you put you in the mental fucking ward if you say one fucking word about it and give you a lethal dosage of Haldol to attempt to recover from.

    Anybody care? Anybody?

  • i think ur dog will die lmaoo

  • so if we see a finger we will think about a dick ? :O

  • I'm sure your brain patterns for watching something are different than remembering what you were watching

  • so then in like 20 years the computers will be thinking like humans ... scary lolz but no, cool

  • Im sorry Fred i hit skip cuz my sound wuz off i diddnt notice it was you till i skipped and my computer froze for like 3 seconds so for like three seconds i wuz like crying

  • fred, u realize nobody listens 2 u. telling us not to skip makes us want to skip more.

  • So, hook subject up to brain wave analyzer. Next, expose subject to a series of images or video clips and analyze how brain waves change over time. Next, once enough data is collected, build a logic system of some sort and create software around this system. This program will be able to make predictions, compare the accuracy of the predictions to actual photo/clip exposure, rinse repeat and refine the technique. Sounds like they could of done this 20 years ago.

  • @XTheDentist but different people with react to the images differently

  • @AJpoopmonster Good point. But leave it to those brilliant computer scientists to account for that and come up with a beautiful solution to the problem so that they can win a prize while that the dark overlords can use this technology to, i dont know, get sample ideas from the populace on how to fuck each other with more efficiency.

  • i skiped it

    

  • i came here from the nikki and john pranks lol

  • um..... i came here from the SHAM WOOOHOOO!

  • Did someone realize the sex scene ? not funny !!

  • If a scientist looked into my mind, they'd probably want to run away screaming.

  • 3rd from the right and 2nd from the top at 1:17... WTF is that?!

  • howd i get here from nigahiga ._.

  • ....lolwhat?

  • I really hope they don't figure out how to read our thoughts. A man's mind is his only true safe haven...

  • Someone has way way worse tech than this.

  • knowledge is power

    

  • @kingoftheworld5000 knowledge isnt power...it is one

  • @kingoftheworld5000 No, money is.

  • @PandaNinjaRobotAlien

    Knowledge gets money 

  • @tertater or being born into this world with a silver spoon in your mouth.

  • @PandaNinjaRobotAlien with no knowledge you have no way to get money.

  • @PandaNinjaRobotAlien Swing and a miss!

  • @PandaNinjaRobotAlien And to some knowledge and information is currency.

  • @PandaNinjaRobotAlien No, money is just an invention. An invention created by knowledgeable people.

  • @kingoftheworld5000 Power corrupts. So study hard, be evil!

  • @kingoftheworld5000 *rainbow appears* "The more you know!" And... "Knowing is half the battle!"

  • Oh no's now people will know what I'm daydreaming about.....FUG!

  • Well in 20 years I'm going to officially become a paranoid weirdo.

  • So you're saying that psychics are real. Also, you have a relative whose name starts with the letter J.

  • Can you not already see into peoples minds through the youtube comments section?

  • I saw this in an episode oh House, pretty cool.

  • Holy cow, that's horrifying! Like, I get that it's probably going to be used to help out people (i.e. people that can't communicate verbally or with their hands etc) BUT think of the other stuff it could be used for! Holy cow, it could take interrogation to a whole new level of creepy. You don't even need to SAY anything to have it used against you! You just have to think it! omg, so scary.

  • are ppl really happy about this?

  • YAY THOUGHT CRIME

    Can't wait for the ministry of Love
