Don't know if this is real but, we may be one step closer to being able to record our dreams.

This sounds good for us dreamers, but reading thoughts and feelings?

I don't know about you but I think that would be a little invasive.

More like one step closer to Orwell's "thought police"

I think when that happens a lot of people would get arrested lol. I know if someone got into my mind I would be too worried I'd think something weird causing me to think about it ironically.

About 4 people beat you to this

They've all been consolidated here:

I wonder how accurate that can get. I also wonder if they can do the same thing for sound. Oh man, the possibilities!

Though I doubt that would work for dreams - usually our dreams follow unusual patterns. You may look at a blue and take it as the bluest blue out of any other blue you've seen, but the computer wouldn't be able to interpret that. I don't doubt it can interpret some very raw emotions, like anger, happiness, sadness, suspiciousness, boredom, stress and etc.

Maybe the people who claim they can see "other" colors can finally verify it.

I wonder how clear it can really get considering the peripheral vision is kind of blurry.
