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..."

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

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"

I wonder how this would work for blind people.
