Human Thoughts Are Private
Or as we used to say in German “ich bin doch kein
Gedankenleser” (I am not a thought reader) meaning I don’t know what you were
thinking.
At The Cusp Of Reading A Human Mind?
IEEE (Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers) just published an article titled “The
Mind-Reading Machine” by Celia Gorman in IEEE Spectrum (July 2012). This
article summarizes some of the latest advances of machines capable to read specific
brain activity associated with, e.g. someone recognizing a person on a picture.
This is just another recent
article I have read about advances in mind reading capabilities.
Iranian Agents Entering The US
From this article one also
learns that the US Defense Department is already applying mind reading machines
in the field. “According to Elbot (CEO of Veritas Scientific), the U.S.
military used an earlier Veritas device called BrainTruth to test the thoughts
of suspected Iranian agents crossing the Mexican border into the United States.”
I was stunned for a moment to
read in this rather technical/scientific magazine that Iranian agents may
already be entering the US. I was not yet aware of any actual cases. What are
these agents up to?
