Scientists make can your inner monoglue audible
When you hear someone else speak, specific neurons in your brain fire. Brian Pasley and a bunch of his colleagues discovered this at the University of
OK so they say it's far from perfect but the fact they can even come close to this is pretty mind blowing. In short, they have you read aloud, map what's firing in your brain, then read silently and map what fires in your brain, and then do nothing. "That allowed the team to isolate which neurons were firing when vocalizing the text. Then a visual representation of the sound waves is created and those sounds are matched with particular brain patterns. Then while the participants read silently to themselves the decoder is able to reconstruct the words based purely on what neurons are firing."
That would be horrible
I like this news.
I'd probably get arrested.
Amazing stuff, though there may not be a unit of time small enough to measure the gap from when it is available to the time when it is abused.

Not good. Here come the thought police.
They should make these mandatory for government officials and politicians….
They have some basic wireless neuroheadsets already being sold.

Evil. Duh.
Ha… now that I can be cloned in a linguistic form, I guess I don't actually have to be here anymore. What effort need I exert… if it's going to be done for me… if I cannot officially be outside of the pigeon hole of 'room', then I am free to be unofficial.
+J Santiago the emotiv looks awesome. I have the +Muse and use it when meditating (http://www.choosemuse.com/)
+Paul Spoerry if it wasn't for the price, I would like to own one.
From what I understand the emotiv is way more sophisticated. The Muse is pretty cool, but it's certainly for sitting still, eyes closed, and meditating. Eye movement causes a thunderstorm of electrical activity in your noggin and will make it go nuts. It IS really cool to get immediate feedback while meditating (is has wind sounds and the more thought happening the more wind… the calming your thoughts the quiter and nice little bird sounds happen).
What's a "monoglue"?
If you listen; what takes place?
This is a Disaster. Thought police For Sure. I've been fearing this exact thing and here it is. Why would you need it for anything other than controlling people? Sure it will be all neato for a while, but wait until the government is mass using it like they use listening devices and cameras all over towns. They'll put these up like they do the listening devices that listen to entire neighborhoods now. Even being quiet isn't going to help. They'll hear your thoughts, not like it for whatever reason, and snatch you up and throw you in jail. Crimes of thought. Life sentence for thinking an anti government thought. Be labeled a terrorist bc you had a bad day and were pissed off and thinking crazy shit. And my God think of the wars it will not only cause, but make worse than anyone can imagine.
+Kristina Andrews yeap, it does reminds me of "Minority Report", the movie.
Does privacy exist anymore?
The force between two atoms is enough to blow a lot of stuff apart. Fact, knowledge and truth are powerful, human beings are not taught everything.
Anyone can make my inner monologue audible it just requires exactly the right amount of beer
