Scientists capture images of what eyes see - word "neuron" next see images vlog 03/05/2009 1 of 3

This is just a quick message to bring your attention to the recent important publication by Japanese researchers, Kamitani, et al, that captured images of what a brain sees by using fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging). They reported this in the December 10 2008 issue of "Neuron" magazine. See the online edition at: http://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(08)00958-6 for the full report. The Japanese researchers showed people the letters "neuron" and then captured the image of the letters "neuron" behind the people's head (see attached image). This is important because now possibly a massive market of cameras that can "see eyes" may evolve. In addition, perhaps now scientists will figure out how to see images produced internally by the brain such as those produced in dreams. It seems very likely that the next publication will involve the detection and recording of sounds heard by the brain - for example, recording different loud notes played into a person's ear. After this, the inevitable next step may be learning how to hear the sounds produced by brains - that is to "hear thought". Beyond this, the possibility of scientists figuring out how to send images and sounds directly back to brains cannot be ignored as a possibility, in addition to a very useful future tool in communication. Perhaps you reported on this find already, but I thought it was important and my responsibility to bring this scientific achievement to your attention, as you are a news outlet to the public and trusted by the public to tell them all the important information that may affect their daily lives. I for one, celebrate this report as a major scientific advance and look forward to the exciting possibilities of this new invention.
Thank you Ted Huntington

I have discovered that some Digital Voice Recorders are sensitive enough to capture your subconscious thought 2-4 seconds before you say it GOING FORWARD mainly in engaging interactions with other people with oftentimes a reversal that is very vivid & impossible to duplicate (such as turning a word inside & out which is not true reverse speech.) The next step is to design a real time translation box for those games or parlay for instance lol.

This is called "neuron reading and writing" and it seems like it would be very useful to be receiving "direct-to-brain-windows" where we can watch videos just in front of our eyes - and move windows around by thinking of an image of where we want the window to be - the tiny micrometer floating dust-sized, believe it or not, sensors read this image, and adjust the neuron writing to position the window to where our brain wants to see it. seems impossible, but like giving 700BC ppl soda.

Hi Ted, I actually heard about this two months ago. Not surprisingly, it wasn't a mainstream news source. I heard about it on the Alex Jones show, where the host read a story about potential legal uses for this tech. As we know, public tech can be decades behind secret tech, so there's a chance this was discovered years ago. This tech is so powerful it would certainly have been fully developed for seeing or hearing as you said. I know this is worthless speculation, but still interesting.
