Brain scan research 'reconstructs images from human minds'

Researchers in the US have created rough computer reconstructions of video images people were watching by scanning their brains. . Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn

... As long as they don't administer this brain scans to police's suspects as proof that a person committed a crime or not etc. Our minds is our last place for refuge and we should be granted freedom to dwell in it without consequences from the law enforcements etc. Soon, they will start throwing people in jail because of their proof from a "mental construct". Let us just face the fact, this feat is IMPOSSIBLE. QED.

Although I'm sure everyone is really excited about your tenure with Sony Vegas, it may benefit you to use your 10 years of experience to learn how to do 10 seconds worth of research before declaring your expert opinion of shenanegins from the rooftops.

"A functional MRI (fMRI) machine watches the patterns that appear in people's brains as they watch a movie, and then correlates those patterns with the image on the screen. With this data, a complex computer model was created to predict the relationships between a given brain pattern and a given image, and a huge database was created that matched 18,000,000 seconds worth of random YouTube videos to possible brain patterns."

Oh trust me world. When this technology will be available, there this will go viral.

this is amazing. the human brain remains active for 7 minutes after death. so you could see what happens when someone dies. it's amazing!

Can you say fraud? Look at the reconstructed video feed, there's a fucking home shopping network there! Powershot G2? Watermarks from multiple network television stations? Nice try assholes. I've been editing for over 10 years, and I know bullshit when I see it. That's nothing but a couple of video feeds layered on top of each other with some Min/Max blur, glow, gaussian and some other filters, plus some mpeg artifacts in the mix. If these scientists are really claiming this; they're lying.

Dont they put people in jail already?

I never have to go to court when im done something illegal, they know me from papers and judge me from "Profiles" Who i am on the inside does not matter when they already think they do know..

Only someone foolish thinks he knows someone elses mind
