Default Tin foil hatters say "I told you so".

Quote:
Scientists have developed a mind-reading technique which could one day allow them to take pictures of memories and dreams.
By comparing brain activity scans, they were able to correctly predict which of 120 pictures someone was focusing on in 90 per cent of cases.
The technique could one day form the basis of a machine to project the imagination on to a screen.
Professor Jack Gallant led the Californian research team.
Writing in the journal Nature, he said: "It may soon be possible to reconstruct a picture of a person's visual experience from measurements of brain activity alone.
"Imagine a general brainreading device that could reconstruct a picture of a person's visual experience at any moment in time."
Picture this: Scientists could take photos of your memories and dreams | the Daily Mail
I got a job lot of tin foil if any one wants them whilst they are cheap?

Serious though. May be the tin foil hatters were RIGHT, just a decade or two premeture?

AND will there be a plug in socket to read it using your super new biometric I.D cards?

Don't think I'll have a brain cell left by then, so I wish them well figuring out what I will be thinking mux:
