'Mind-reading' brain-scan software showcased in NY

By SAMANTHA GROSS, Associated Press Writer Samantha Gross, Associated Press Writer – Thu Apr 8, 4:15 am ET


NEW YORK – Mind reading may no longer be the domain of psychics and fortune tellers — now some computers can do it, too.

Software that uses brain scans to determine what items people are thinking about was among the technological innovations showcased Wednesday by Intel Corp., which drew back the curtain on a number of projects that are still under development.

The software analyzes functional MRI scans to determine what parts of a person's brain is being activated as he or she thinks. In tests, it guessed with 90 percent accuracy which of two words a person was thinking about, said Intel Labs researcher Dean Pomerleau.

That kinda sounds like splitting hairs, doesn't it? In anycase, I'm uncomfortable with such tech out there....

I wouldn't call that splitting hairs, no. Focusing sound at someone means you're definitely still limited to sending sound, writing directly to the sound-hearing brain parts suggests you could also ...

Indeed. Furthermore, it's still just sound and soundwaves; if you don't like it you could block it with headphones just like you could if the forty-foot tall advertisement was shouting down at you. If it was able to beam it into your brain meat there'd be no blocking it.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8026&Focus=231242#Comment_231242 2010-04-15T06:32:26-07:00 2013-05-22T00:47:41-07:00 XIbalba2012 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1917

Good points. However isn't this issue about the tech that CAN muck with your head in ways that can't be blocked, short of a lead painted helmet?

Well, it can guess what word you're visualising while your head's in an MRI machine. We're a long way off that being deployable in a scary way.

Cat: I've heard a similar story, amidst the many things this monstrosity is capable of. I think I had heard a mans head was exploded.

@Xlbalba2012 I think you should take the things you read on the internet with a very large grain of salt.

Or more specifically, the things I "hear" on the internet. Still. I wouldn't rule anything out.

The sound projection technology you're talking about has existed for a while. You still hear it with your eardrums. It's two subsonic waves focused such that they constructively interfere inside ...

As to the fMRI data... fMRI data has been used to establish that pictures of naked ladies arouse dead salmon. This stuff is not nearly as advanced as the news reports on these points lead people to imagine. It requires hours of baseline preparation, and the "mind reading" consists of matching the way your brain lights up to the ways it lit up before. It's better than an E-Meter, but only by about an order of magnitude, in my opinion. So not very good.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8026&Focus=241897#Comment_241897 2010-06-01T08:29:43-07:00 2013-05-22T00:47:41-07:00 XIbalba2012 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1917

interesting. And very scary.
