Once science fiction, scientists have figured out how to extract images directly from the brain. With the ability to extract images straight from the brain, scientists predict that in the future, they may be able to even display your dreams on a monitor. Sure we have seen this brain technology in the future, but with this direct window in the mind, couldn’t there be some negative sides to this as well?
With the ability to extract images and thoughts, could this technology possible prove people innocent and guilty in a crime? What about being able to better diagnose patients or help psychologists really understand a patient better?
ATR chief researcher Yukiyasu Kamitani says, “This technology can also be applied to senses other than vision. In the future, it may also become possible to read feelings and complicated emotional states.”
