Japanese scientists have created the first step toward a device that, by scanning people's brains, could record people's dreams and read their mind. A science lab in Kyoto, Japan has developed a system of using MRI scanners to resolve images directly from subject's brains. The current experiments show a subject an image and then reconstruct that image based on scans of the brain's visual cortex. The team calibrated a computer program by scanning volunteers staring at hundreds of different still images in black, white and grey. Then, the computer program reproduces the figures and letters that the volunteers had seen, albeit more blurry than the originals. The next step for researchers will be to study how to visualize images inside people's minds that have not been presented before - a technology that could make it possible to record people's dreams. [Yoshiyuki Onuki, Tester]: "Although it's somewhat science fiction-like, for example, if you're 50-years-old and see a really good dream the day before, you could scan that and show it to your kids." Researchers say the brain-reading technology would also open the way for people to communicate directly from their mind or control electronic devices without using their bodies - making keyboards and buttons a thing of the past. [Dr. Yukiyasu Kamitani, ATR Institute]: "Although there are many forms of communication, whether it be the Internet or whatnot, all of them are limited by the body. However, this means that we have a method of communications that can interface directly with the brain." While the new technology opens the doors to many new possibilities, scientists warn that it could bring about new issues concerning ethics and privacy, meaning that for those wanting to "plug themselves in," they might have to wait a bit longer.

mind is locked box and future technogly allow us to enter new dawn into the future now for those say be bad understandble but this technogly wont be for us but for next generations after our time and I surely have to say we cant keep living forever in mordern technolgy as if we keep old ways old technogly we no dought deplete planets resorces.

Whish their can be a team of people that could help me find these places where the earth quakes are going to happen before they happen. Its like looking at TV show before it happens, but worse because I see my self in the place where the destruction took place.

[moarevalo1972]

God makes me remember people what they wear what they look like, where I can find them, streets, places, all in full vivid color can even tell you what they were wearing. The worse part is having dreams of major earth quakes before they happen, but with those all I know is that when their local or foreing places. I try stay up late keep my mind busy so I don't any future dreams. It sucks :(
