Scientists Reconstruct Brains’ Visions Into Digital Video In Historic Experiment

[NASpurs]

Didn't see a thread about this in here or the Club. Thought it was kind of cool and creepy at the same time. Watch the video if you can.

Snippet:


UC Berkeley scientists have developed a system to capture visual activity in human brains and reconstruct it as digital video clips. Eventually, this process will allow you to record and reconstruct your own dreams on a computer screen.

I just can't believe this is happening for real, but according to Professor Jack Gallant—UC Berkeley neuroscientist and coauthor of the research published today in the journal Current Biology—"this is a major leap toward reconstructing internal imagery. We are opening a window into the movies in our minds..."

Why don't I like this?

If this is true, and able to be commercialized... it's going to totally destroy the porn industry.

Humanity = fucked

Yeah there's something unsettling about this.

But I'm one of those people who has a real hard time recalling what it was that I dreamt. It would be kind of cool to record your dreams to your computer and have your questions answered like "Do I dream in color?" "Do people wear shoes in my dreams" "Do I dream in HD or 480p" :lol

I wonder how this would work for blind people.

If they have read privileges, "write" "erase" and "full control" can't be far behind....
