Scientists Aim To Extract Images/Dreams Directly From Your Brain

A team of Japanese researchers believe they're well on the way to developing a technology capable of displaying whatever is on a person's mind. Including pictures, dreams, and, God willing, sex with George Clooney.

While the team for now has managed to reproduce only simple images from the brain, they said the technology could eventually be used to figure out dreams and other secrets inside people's minds.


"It was the first time in the world that it was possible to visualize what people see directly from the brain activity," the private institute said in a statement.

"By applying this technology, it may become possible to record and replay subjective images that people perceive like dreams."

This reminds me of one of my own favorite dreams: I exit my cave wearing only an animal pelt. I spot George Clooney -- he catches my gaze. I approach and begin tenderly rubbing his horns while making cooing sounds... I wake from the dream dripping sweat. Is it hot in here?

If you have an idea too and you'd like me to blog about please e-mail it to me. And as always, if you're a budding inventor yourself and need more info on prototypes or how to sell your ideas click here!

there was a episode of Max Headroom like this: people were hooked up to a machine where their dreams were extracted and shown on TV.  it was one of the highest rated TV networks, thus the producers had to keep finding more people with wilder dreams.  it didn't last though - people were dying from the sleep juice they were given.  oh well.
