Can You Read My Mind?


Boundaries of The Brain


There is a new technology that may be able to probe into peoples mind, actually reading into what they are thinking about at the very moment. By focusing on the medial prefrontal cortex, scientists think they will be able to use neuro imagine to predict that persons though process, or indicate certain emotions. Brain controlled computing is what this is called as of now, however scientists have their concerns of course. Machinery that responds to telepathic thoughts.

Of course a technolgy of such greatness, definitely deserves some ethical debate. For the government to use this under certain circumstances may be one thing, but can something like this get extremeley out of control? How do you place boundaries on something that so many people have been waiting to have? Scientists believe that they may be able to predict peoples thoughts with an accuracy of 70%. Scary!

Science is an incredible thing no doubt, but sometimes there needs to be a boundaries, and if these boundaries are crossed, chaos will permit. Such a wonderful discovery can do great things, but can also do great harm.
