In this report by Lesley Stahl of CBS News' 60 Minutes, she tells us just how close neuroscientists have come to reading our minds, or as neuroscientist Marcel Just calls it, "thought identification." The primary tools they employ are fMRI or functional MRI and powerful computers that can sort through massive amounts of data real-time to interpret the fMRI results.
The story is simply amazing and one that puts what was once science fiction into the realm of just plain science. I'm finding it difficult to embed the video so here's the link to Lesley Stahl's report and this is the link to the accompanying article.
