The US has been steadily overtaken in the field of science over the last 2 decades, its a shame really.

Did they extract that little white box with a red x inside? I’m not surprised.

"Researchers from Japan’s ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories have developed new brain analysis technology that can reconstruct the images inside a person’s mind and display them on a computer monitor."

This should be a huge development for New Agers who will no longer have to keep dream diaries on their nightstands; Now they'll just have to TiVo themselves.

"The scientists were able to reconstruct various images viewed by a person by analyzing changes in their cerebral blood flow."

Wow!

What you think about really can affect your health!

This is an amazing discovery if true.

I was thinking, could this be used to help to treat the mentally ill. Second thought, maybe, no one really wants to see those images.

Does this work only on physical images of actually seen objects or can it see what I am thinking about if I close my eyes and think really hard about an image?

This is similar, but much faster and less invasive than tests I heard about duing an Air Force neural network seminar. If a lab animal was killed while viewing an image, that image could be detected in the animal's brain.

No longer just a fantasy, one day ... maybe a requirement for privacy.

Oh GOOD! I have this image of Helen Thomas. I wish they’d extract it and destroy it!

I’ve often wondered if the time would come when they could play back dreams.
Dreams are fascinating things.

I’ve had plenty of weird dreams that never made any sense and I couldn’t
imagine where such thoughts came from, or why.

A machine that purports to understand women??? That's just plain science fiction there.
