Scary. If research progresses to a stage where its actually able to pick up thoughts rather than sound processing, this sort of technology might be used for interrogation. Imagine drilling holes into the prisoners skull to try and pick up this thoughts.
- ajuc 15y agoSo many sci-fi ideas to explore.. While scientist can't read "real thoughts" instead of audio signal, spies would be taught to think in a secret language, preferably each spy in a different one, and only translate it, when they need to speak with someone. Maybe that's how Babel Tower happened :) I also wonder, if "real thoughts" are universally identifiable between people. I guess not, so reading them will require calibration of thought-reader. So it (the reader) could be tricked by interrogated person, by thinking about different things/ideas in calibration phase, than interrogators want you to think about. This allows for full blown fantasy style mind wars. Scary, but also cool.
