Coolness: 685695	lol, do you have any idea how complicated it will be to read a person's thoughts? EVERYONE has a way of thinking that's different from everyone else. If the government wanted to, say, find out who's thinking of assasinating the president, they'd have to calibrate the machine to EVERY SINGLE PERSON thinking about assasinating the president.. So they'd have to go out and actively put the thought in EVERYONE'S head, so that they could see how their brain reacts, then they'd have to test it thinking of killing someone else, so that they could differenciate the thought of killing from the thought of killing the president.. Then they'd have to have everyone thinking about killing their parents, to see what the difference in thought process/patern is like.. People don't all think the same. Even identical twins wouldn't think the same way, by the simple act that they aren't the other.. Then there's chemical imbalance to take into account; sure you've been mind-scanned and they know what your brain patterns are like when you're thinking of assasinating someone.. Smoke a joint or do a 0.5 of shrooms, and voila, you can go kill without fear of being detected, because you're not thinking the same as when the calibration was done.

Coolness: 106220	Reading peoples minds isnt that important when you can make them do stuff. Or when you can impose thought patterns. This kind of stuff was science fiction a few years ago.

Coolness: 685695	Yeah, but then there's still the problem that everyone's brain handles things differently. The impulses/changes that make you depressed might make me happy, might make Nathan sleepy, might make Dee hungry.. Everyone's brain is 100% unique, even more so than your DNA or your fingerprints. Granted, science is advancing fast as hell for a lot of things, but I think we'd only reach a state where we can do something like controlling people's thoughts and actions in a few hundred years, if we'll ever be able to do it. People's minds are just too unique. If you take two rwin babies and raise them in an identical room; white walls, a bed, a chair fixed in place, a table fixed in place, feed them the same meals at the same times, teach them the exact same things through a recording/TV, they would STILL not think the same.. the simple act of one having to pee when the other doesn't will be like a fork in a road towards thinking differently than the other one. Maybe when we've got AI that's more intelligent than humans we could implement something like that, but it's really gonna be a very, very, very long ways off, to the point where even me, who's a major fan of sci-fi and cyberpunk fiction, thinks that your paranoia about thought control of the sort you're imagining is a little too far-fetched (and I'm someone that's hoping for a Neuromance/Johnny Mnemonic-style neural interface for computers in my life-time!)

Coolness: 106220	I'm not so sure; fear, anger, joy... are not that complex. They have been working on this sort of stuff for quite a while now. My friend tried a brainwave thingamajig that works on alfa and beta waves, he got all sorts of waking dream action out of it. There is some pretty freaky stuff already out there, besides the toys, that is.

Coolness: 685695	well the sound stuff is pretty interesting, but it can't really put a specific thought into a person's head.. you couldn't make a person obey your commands.. At most you could make people peacefull, happy, sad, whatever, but they'd need to have headphones on all the time, since you need a different frequency going into each ear.. And then there's still the matter of people's brains interpreting things differently; I've tried some of those binaural sounds that friends of mine swore made them all weird and fucked up, and they haven't had any effect that I've noticed.. The concept is interesting, but people are too unique for things to affect EVERYONE in the exact same way. Maybe a large chunk, sure, but as soon as you introduce some sort of variant like a chemical imbalance, depression, psychological trauma, etc.., you've changed the fundamental way a person processes with their brain, and then you'd need to custom-tailor something to their thoughts specifically.

Coolness: 106220	Had nothing to do with sound, was with electromagnetic fields. If you could impose an emotion like desperation to a majority of your enemies, it would no doubt give you the upper hand. I'm not saying its ready yet, but that its in the making.

Coolness: 164905	i saw a video last week about a machine that could record memories from someone! lets say they had like 4 images ! the person would watch each image and think about that image for a few second! they would record everything! and then ask the person to think about one of those image... and they could very precisely say what think you were thinking about! ok ok i found it : so basically having a MOUSE pointer move to your will would "kinda" be easy to do since you could think about a direction and the computer could detect what you want! the only problem now is that its only possible thru MRI eahaehaeh so before we have a portable MRI-Alike device... its not for this year !
