This was interesting, being able to read someone's mind. It would be great to use in our legal system. Think of the people who are murdered by a spouse or parent and their bodies can not be found. Beng able to read their mind and find out where their missing loved one is would be great. Using it in the military is also another useful way to use it. It will be interesting to see if this really works and what they will use it for.
Wow! It looks like we will all have to be more honest citizens in the future. It appears to be a ways off yet and then it will only be for the more affluent areas of the world, especially when you add in the MRI bill. I recently had an MRI on my shoulder. It took about 20 to 30 minutes and cost a little more than $2,000.00. My point is I hope they ask the tax payers if it is worth the money, because you know the criminal will not be paying for it.
Wow.. thats crazy. No need for lie detector tests.. now they will be able to read your mind! It would be really great to use in criminal cases. I wonder if this will actually work..
Interesting, but a bit creepy if you ask me. It's definitely another one of those things I won't believe till I see it happen. Can't see it being used on a regular basis by most people, but I agree with our classmates that it could help in certain situations.
I am real glad that this isn't portable. Unfortunately, it would be really expensive. The law and other important areas would benefit from this improved lie-detector test. Against terrorists, this would prevent attacks. But since it is too expensive, we will have to wait until it isn't to gain common usage. At the moment, it would only apply in matters of absolute national security.
I think we're years away from using this technology as a truth detector. If someone lies but the truth is still buried somewhere in the brain, which signal does the system detect? It seems like it would be easy to confuse the machine by shooting all manner random thoughts through your mind. I almost hope it fails - too much Big Brother in all this.
This is definitely scary. There would be advantages and disadvantages with it I think. An advantage would be that law enforcement can find murderers, robbers and other criminals. I think a disadvantage would be the misuse of it for example what if a person wants to read your mind and find out about personal information just hurt a person. Even if it would be just for the law enforcement there are law enforcement that unfortunately do break the law.
Ive seen this guy on the Discovery and history channel when they talk about crazy scientific things. This is very interesting, certainly many affects, both positive and negativ.
It's cold-reading. Basically its a set of techniques to get a person to behave a certain way or follow a certain thought pattern. At that point the "mind reader" will make said mark believe they have a special ability to "read" the mark's mind.
It's done on much subtler, or perhaps even more overt level by advertisers and marketers every waking moment of our lives.
I love Michio Kaku; I have seen him in many science shows. I think this technology is very interesting, and probably not as far away as it seems. I see many benefits of this too. Just today Obama was talking about his policies on torturing, and many had concerns about what not using torturing would do to our security when it comes to issues like terrorists. This would be a great solution to that problem, as well as other legal issues. And while I guess it could be used the wrong way, I am guessing it will not be available (or affordable) to the general public, and really the only ones that have to worry are criminals.
Crazy concepts! This would be an amazing achievement for psychics's as well. I agree with it having great potential in our legal system. Kind of reminds me of the movie, Minority Report, where psychics would predict murders.
I am not going to give permission for anyone to read my mind ever under any circumstances. I hope I’m dead for this technology is used in the legal system or for military use. My mind is my own and I don’t care if I murder a bus full of nuns, no one gets to read it. As a culture it seems like we are moving further and further to any privacy whatsoever. They are called your inner most thoughts for a reason. If you put someone on trial and try to read their mind as evidence, how do you know that you getting the truth?
I would'nt like to be friends with this guy. He would know everything that I'm thinking about, which is kind of creepy for me. Don't get me wrong I think its an incredible talent but I wouldn't like to have him around me haha.

ReplyDeleteThis would be awsome. Think of all the cases that could possibly be solved due to this technology. I am not sure how accurate this will be however.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty scary. I'm sure the lawmakers would have a field day if anyone tried to use this in the judicial system.
ReplyDeleteThis depends on who has access to the instrument. It should only be allowed in the judiciary system. Not for corporations or law enforcement.

ReplyDeletethis is wierd. reading minds is wierd. if it suppose to be heard it would be said.
ReplyDeleteMind readers freak me out, but hey, i guess they need to make a living too.

what about your right to privacy?
ReplyDeletesomeone some where is going to use it in the wrong way

ReplyDeleteThere are so many possible good uses of this type of technology but in the wrong hands it could be a disaster
