As usual in psychological work, the title of the article is flatly contradicted by the article's contents. In point of fact, the scientists don't "decode dreams with brain scans" -- that is simply false. A quote from the article: "Our dream decoding is still very primitive,” Kamitani said. Decoding color, action, or emotion is also still beyond the scope of the technology, Kamitani says. Also, it only seems to work for imagery that occurred — at most — about 15 seconds before waking up. Finally, the decoder is unique to each person. To decode the dreams of another person, the team would have to train up a new decoder by having that person view hundreds of images." This would be like claiming to have psychic powers to detect which book a person is reading -- by asking the person which book he is reading.
