Mindreading Device invented

American researchers from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, found that, with the aid of a sophisticated scanner and computer program, they were able to determine how the brain lights up when thinking about different subjects. No this is not a reading from a science fiction novel, rather it's a true event. Although current tests have been able to figure out tools from buildings, I mean who wants to know everything that the subjects mind is pondering over. The researchers were able to figure it out about 97% of the time if they were thinking about a tool or a building.

However further tests have been able to figure out even more fascinating secrets. Despite being limited to picking up the thoughts behind just ten pictures, the researchers are confident that they will soon be able to identify entire sentences. One of the team, Dr Svetlana Shinkareva, said: "We hope to progress to identifying the thoughts associated not just with pictures but also with words and eventually sentences." The technique could also have medical applications by, for example, providing valuable insights into conditions such as autism. Study leader Professor Marcel Just said: "People with autism perceive others in a distinctive way that has been difficult to characterise. "This approach offers a way to discover that characterisation." May be we all will be able to find out what is actually inside Stephen Hawkings brain or the mind of a criminal before he commits the crime.
