Scientists Create Computer That Reads Your Thoughts and Puts Them Into Words (Video)
Scientists have recently developed a complex process that allows them to seemingly decode and depict our brain activity as language. Neuroscientists at University of California Berkeley used a technique where they monitored the brain activity of individuals as they listened to words being spoken. As the subjects listened to the words being spoken, a computer program analyzed brain activity in the temporal lobe, and how the brain interpreted and recreated specific words or sounds.
Using the information from this brain activity, scientists were able to ‘synthesize’ the actual sound, using the sounds themselves to determine what the words are. With more work and refining, this process could be used to effectively interpret thoughts of an individual and translate them into some understandable form of language.
This form of technology has twofold implications. On the one hand, this would prove to be incredibly useful for those with neurological diseases, physical impairment of speech (via smoking or otherwise) or brain damage, who have trouble speaking due to their injuries. This would effectively provide a medium for them to communicate effectively regardless of any impairment.
On the other hand, this has major negative implications for human relations and situations. If it were to progress to a true mind reading level, it would threaten the integrity of human thought and individualism altogether. View the video below:
It’s reminiscent of some science fiction scenario, in which ‘thought crimes’ exist — the very nature of thinking about committing a crime or undesirable action. Man having the power to invade another man’s mind is hardly fair or acceptable, regardless of the circumstances. This influence could turn human relations into a controlled and predictable scheme where the individual would have no freedom of thought.
Thankfully, the process required the subjects to have electrodes implanted in their temporal lobes, which would not happen involuntarily. Besides that, it is still rudimentary and unrefined.
As the technology advances, it would be important to watch for its beneficial uses, but also make careful considerations about the nature and implications of such technology. This technology — while amazing — should be utilized only within reasonable bounds.

Help, unable to view video. It takes me to a request form for that collage. Using a driod bionic. Any suggestions?
great possibilities! to be able to think-type instead of sitting up pushing buttons I like that. I envision a happy, sane future and this would be a healing evolutionary quantum leap foe every mind to experience the ultimate bio-feedback automatic self reflection getting us past the point of thinking the same thing again and again by seeing it set in type on a screen. I actually performed a close approximation of this experiment on a friend going through a serious confusion state where I typed what he was saying onto a wall sized screen and as he saw his thoughts written before his eyes there was not only no need to repeat them but there was the increasing awareness of his own logic laid out before his eyes assisting him in thinking out his problem which is what happened as I kept the conversation going to help him think things through thoroughly. I think it's a great, unused therapeutic enhancement. my website is a free fun random word selector, picks 4 to 5 words from a group of 6,500 words. let me know if you find it interesting. here's what is said about this thought to text technology: VIE LEND NOTICE SEDUCTIVE – what thoughts occur to you when you see the words? I'm thinking that there are some competitive people who would vie for control and see how it could lend itself seductively to that but it gives the power to notice, to know-this, to see the inner conflicts of a person and for an individual to become less dual to end their inner duel would be grand.
Nice try Art,research MK Ultra and watch Brain Invaders episode of tru TV's Jesse Ventura's conspiracy theory series. Brain Invaders just came out i Dec. 2012 so it is still on You Tube. One day it may save mankind, but for now it is being used to destroy americans and our society at large. If it is not exposed and regulated it will end america's prosperity and technical prowess as it has already begun to do . It is an assault on freedom and it is this freedom that has made america so great but also such a threat to monarchial dictatorships around the world. Freedom of thought is the root of imagination and invention, innovation and prototype design development ,anything counter to this is our true nemesis. Foreign moles in our intelligence community are controlling these new and powerful technologies. Helping these agents of a foreign power is treason Art ,no matter what YOUR reason for helping them is.
The next step is to introduce similar signals to the individuals brain and fool him into thinking it is his own thought or even using this reverse thought monitoring system to put the subject under hypnosis while asleep and with post hypnotic suggestions alter his waking behavior. Wait a minute, doesn't the NSA do this already with covert voice to skull EMF transmissions, oops maybe thios is old news as the brains thought center connects with the speech center at a point outside the brain cavity by the jaw bone connection, they've been monitoring this connection for years as the thought signal is sent to this point whether or not the person is speaking.
Wow…so true! Can you suggest any web sites that I can read on these subjects? For real!:-)
Yes,Jesse Ventura has just released a television episode of conspiracy theory called "Brain Invaders" that researches microwave RF signal Bio-communications systems that the military is using on our enemies on battlefields as well as dissenting american civilians. The episode offers both proof of the technology involved and eyewitness accounts from former CIA and NSA employee's , technicions (agents) as well as designers. Used in the MK Ultra program on civilians,some voluntary, some not, this mind reading , behavioral modifying, direct signal to brain communication system is actually more than 30 years in developement. The Brain Invaders episode can be found right here on the internet, See it before it's removed , better yet download it to preserve it's witness.
Next step: throught crime persecution.
