Scientists create machine that knows what you are thinking


www.dailymail.co.uk
Scientists have developed a machine which is capable of reading our mind and revealing our most private thoughts. ....The researchers' analysis was found to be 97 per cent accurate but they went on to show that they could distinguish between two similar objects, such as two different tools, almost as successfully.

Wouldn't the tinfoil hat you are wearing which is strapped to your head slam directly up at the magnet in the MRI, causing massive brain damage? That may be a way to beat it, after the head injury all you will be able to think is "tomato, tomato, tomato..."
Seriously this device is, well, evil. Right now they have it where it can "read" what you are looking at. But eventually with better software, it probably will be able to figure out truth, lies, thoughts and well beyond that.
When we have the handheld version I am going to hideout in my secret cave...that they will know about with their device...but its secret...and they will know...

Why not focus on the good things mentioned in the article, like autism research.


That is a great thing. But as stated many times before on ATS tech threads, we need to worry about the potential "bad hands" that these technologies will fall into. No one disputes the fact that there are good applications to most new technologies. The fact of the matter is that most inventions such as these end up "disappearing" as someone stated before. They then seem to get used for different intel agencies and groups of that type. They have to say that there are "benefits" to these advances otherwise people wouldn't go along with it. Everything that has government backing, as I am sure this will eventually, pumps up all of the good things about their developments and neglects to really tell the public what their actual intentions are.

With all due respect, it's not the machine they're currently using to conduct this research that should be most worrisome.

Yeah, obviously, and currently, we don't need to worry much about our brains being scanned surreptitiously by hugely expensive, gigantic machines, located only in well financed hospitals and research facilities.

It's how they intend to use the knowledge gained by this research that should be of the most concern.

If they can "standardize" the workings of the brain, they can also apply that knowledge to control the brain, and hence, all of us, to be good little cogs in their "greater" social machine.

All technology has two edges, one cuts and the other heals, and unfortunately, it's all too often entirely up to the wielders of a technology to determine which edge to use.

Will they use it only to empower themselves, or all of humanity?

That's the question that needs to be examined here, IMHO.
