well there!!

hopfully some day that technology will advance so far that we can capture hallucinations and such.

Sounds like an April Fool's day joke... but it's Dec 12!

I always wished I could take snapshots of my dreams, but I bet it will never be possible with hyperspace, it can't be reduced to a 2d picture even with 24-bit colors.

I could get rich, making porn that way. If only i could get my hands on that device.

lol thats great. but imagine if they did try too take a picture. wouldn't it look awesome. there would be so many different colors

^hahaha

wow jorkest i posted 1 second before you lol.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. It's one of those things that, once fully developed and utilized, we will probably regret. Like the atom bomb,but human rights um something...mmrb...hmm..

Eventually, police and military interrogations are going to be like the Clockwork Orange criminal therapy. They'll hold your eyes open and place the reference images in front of you until they have your brain info or whatever. Then, they'll extract the information from you. It's better than torture, but still kinda sick. I can't imagine the law protecting us from such a useful technology.

nice thought

Until the day they auto-interrogate a briliant programmer who's thinking about a mega-lethal computervirus

Yup, sounds creepy.
Not very happy about this kind of future.
I hope I'll be dead when those things come.

They are already using it in courts. I think its bullshit though for a lot of reasons (similar to the polygraph but this isn't even close to being that developed). In the US there is the 5th amendment that sais you cannot be a witness against yourself (which they point out in that article). So how does this fit in? Also I don't think the technology is at a level where its appropriate to be using in court. Regardless I think they should keep studying this field not for court or brainwashing or whatever the heck purposes but just to learn more about the brain. Ah who thought magnetic fields could do so much for us?

What's the 5th amendment worth? The government tramples all the others.

On the bright side perhaps there would be less innocent prisoners.

The idea has both facsinating and scary implications. The idea that all your most intimate and secretive thoughts could be viewed by others would be tantermount to rape. I am glad I live in an age where this is not yet and unlikely to be possible for many years yet. On the other hand, being able to share the spice visions, rather than try to use words to describe them would be fabulous. I sometimes think when I speak to non spice heads what I see, they think I am lieing and spinning the shit just to be sensational. To actually be able to say "Well if you dont believe me, just look at this"! would be brilliant.

Once some aliens showed me a colour that dosnt exist in this universe. I saw it as clear as day but I cant describe what that colour looks like, even to fellow spice heads who can understand where I am comeing from. I am curious to know how that would be viewed by some mind camera.
