It makes sense that if you know how to read brainwaves you'd be able to reconstruct what the eyes are seeing, right? But Yukiyasu Kamitani is taking it to another level: <A href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16267-mindreading-software-could-record-your-dreams.html">using a an MRI to scan your brain and recreate what you see in your mind on a computer screen</A>. Ultimately the technology could be used to read your mind with enough fidelity to create a video of your thoughts or dreams.<BR><BR>As the article in New Scientist points out, all of this raises ethical concerns should the tech work from a distance. Do you want marketers to read your mind? What would Google do if they could put contextual ads in your life? Can you upload your brain to Flickr?<BR><BR>Of course, this is a long way off. Not only does the software need a lot of refinement, the hardware challenges of reading brainwaves with enough fidelity to recreate an image is a giant hurdle.
