  • Me: This new law is against fiction. Your example is for something that’s not fiction. Do you understand the difference?

    This is what I mean by your logic. Do you understand the difference between fiction and reality?

    I mean, you said that camera thing like it was some kind of mic drop lol

    Because surveillance never has been an issue /s. Did you just read the last comment and ignore the rest? One is a real problem, the other is fiction. Do you understand the difference?

    Personally I think the Justice system attempting to have a bit of foresight is a good thing

    Sure man, let’s make a law about something we know nothing about, what could go wrong.


  • Nice article, but it’s more like reading stimulus reaction while reconstructing it in a form that’s similar to the original. But it has flaws. Based on the recordings you can make out pretty much any existant song (or memorized recording) but not original thoughts. Everyone can remember the beats of a song, but also everyone makes word associations in different ways, depending on which concepts sticks.

    Very cool for an interface tho. It would be possible to use it as base for composers, if it’s possible to interpret original hummings, or beats (what would I know, I’m not a musician), which would require training.

    But there is a catch

    Continuing to probe musical perception is likely to be difficult because the brain areas that process it are hard to access without invasive methods.

    nothing gets out on its own





  • Lots of misconceptions here. Brain waves are just the communication between neurons. This is basically internal wiring, everyone is wired differently. Also nothing gets out of your brain on its own, except heat.

    A tool like this can only measure regular patterns between humans and compare them. You will only get are interpretations of your brain status. It can’t read your memories nor know if you’re thinking about eating a burger. At most it will get a “you’re hungry” alert. You can train it to be better at figuring you out (or to do other stuff, like controlling a robot), but you won’t get more without a very invasive direct link to your brain (and more training). Which is more like torture at this point.

    This new law is just promoting fear for something they don’t even know if it’s possible or not. Very sci fi law.
