Words from brain waves may let scientists read your mind

Dr. Jose Delgado was conducting experiments with microchip implanted in the brain of a bull in the 60s, he succeed with his experiments. I bet the technology it's more advanced today. He was able to control the bull.

funny.. that was a theory used in making cyborgs.. no secret will remain secret... i love that one... even the Master Mind of International Terrorism and creating war and stealing names and identity will be revealed...

Sounds spooky only because, as with anything else you can name, there are those who could use it for destructive purposes if that is their aim. That's not the fault of the technology but rather the fault of a certain many of our species.

On the positive side, what a computer can convert to speech a computer can covert to any command you wish - think Siri without speaking. Pretty cool actually. I could compose an email just by thinking it and more.

Now, think the opposite - your computer could conceivably convert speech or text into thought, meaning no need to read your email at the computer or device and no need to respond to email at the computer or device.

Better yet, instead of sharing with Facebook, you'll simply share directly to those you want to share with and pretty instantly. Imagine sharing a fun or incredible moment with others in another part of the world not through photos and video but directly - mind to mind.

Again, very cool. Sure, you can be frightened by the whole thing are excited about the whole thing.

I tend to be a pretty optimistic guy a little on the idealistic side. I could live the other way but, frankly, the world is full of that kind of people.

Whoa! I hope not. Great post... thanks for posting.

So shall we hook up politicians? Santorum is thinking of gay sex 24/7, the man's obsessed about it. Newt's thoughts would be about how to score with the next woman he sees with a pulse. Romney would be thinking about his money and how to make more. The president, worried about how far he can push his Bush impersonation before the public gives him a big F.U. on election day. Come to think of it, who needs technology to read their thoughts?

Fascinating!
Is this process as effective for people who are multi-lingual? How will this technology be able to decipher if I'm thinking in English, French, or Spanish?

Can this be use as a military weapon ? if it is yes, then they can get rid off all enemies of the state . Very nice.

It is very interesting. For a moment lets skip the paranoia (due though it may be) and look at what this could mean medically and therapeutically. What could this imply for people in a coma who still have brain activity? Could people in a waking coma finally be able to communicate with others instead of just being trapped inside of their body? Hell, what would happen if you used this to study dreams?

Certainly, there are a lot of negative things that could come from this, but there are a lot of positives that could come from it as well.

In 2009 they were able to have brain to brain conversations via a computer interface. It made it so you could hear the other person's thoughts in your own head by wearing a cap.

Now this is some scary shit, just imagine you get arrested by the government and while your sleeping they implant a chip in your ear and send you on your way back to occupy Wall street!
