Awesome new tech displays thoughts onscreen - Page 2

It's going to be like Minority Report but where you have a bad dream and you go to jail or get a couple plain clothes officers following you around because you had a dream about something bad.

I have frequent night terrors that I am not interested in re-living. Err, viewing.

It'll be a long, loooong time before we ever get to the stage of actually viewing and recording actual mental recollections; right now the tech relies on recognising "templates" of brain activity associated with certain memories in an extremely crude fashion.

I think memory visualisation will only occur once the tech exists to map out each individual's brain on the molecular level, and measure activity on the same level. Once that's in place, it'd be easy to do.

Wow ... anyone remember that movie Fortress where they could read minds punish the inmates for having good dreams

It'll never happen, at least not to the point we see in movies.
