Neat. These mind controlled computer technologies seem to be maturing nicely. I can't wait for the open source guys to release kernel drivers for EEG systems.

Cool. But:

According to Dr Gallant, who has yet to publish the results of the experiment

*flail arms* Would it kill the media to report peer-reviewed research? Just sayin'.

Yeah, pre-announcing to the press is the kind of thing I'd expect from Dr. Goofus

My computer knew you were going to say that.

porn instead of sex?

It's defective. It's not picking up on my weed and Funyuns signals.

brainiac-dumdum: porn instead of sex?

If a computer is involved?

Well, hm, I don't monitor the peripherals market...

Even though it's already green, +1 Subby.

According to Dr Gallant, who has yet to publish the results of the experiment, the software was close to the mark.

Put me down for $20 on "No, it wasn't." if he ever publishes. That graphic looks suspiciously like someone blurred the image in photo shop, I can tell from the pixels.

A mind-reading machine that can produce pictures of what a person is seeing or remembering has been developed by scientists.

This just in, a ham sandwich that can satisfy the hunger a person is feeling or remembering has been developed by scientists.

There has been research on plucking visual data out of people's brains with an fMRI- and the results look nothing like that. I have a feeling that the Daily Fail read the press release and then invented an article to go with it.

did storm have telepathic abilities?

ZER0T0THEC0RE: did storm have telepathic abilities?

No. But that was probably the first hit on GIS.

Way to link to a virus, Fark.

That website gives one of those fake virus scanner popups, just an FYI.

If you're dumb enough to click one of those you deserve it.

Psst. Explaining the joke makes it worse.

I bet you're right though, and Daily Mail cooked that up. Or else the research team is taking the Idiocracy approach to PR.

"We're THIS CLOSE to mind reading, we just need to get rid of the blur!"

Here's a bit of trivia that caught my eye today: Pomography is pictures of fruit.

Subby gets all my internets for the rest of the day.

/I lol'd
//then I read it to my wife
///then lol'd again.

Con Fabulous: Explaining the joke makes it worse.

I wasn't explaining the joke. I was pointing out that this technology really does exist, but the Daily Fail's imagination of what it entails is, well, failtastic.

Yo dawg, I heard you like looking at things so we wired a camera to your brain so you can look at things while you look at things!

This might be the first Fark headline that would actually make a good t-shirt.

Dear Jerk: Here's a bit of trivia that caught my eye today: Pomography is pictures of fruit.



pictures of naughty fruit?

Sounds like it was stuck on a loop to 4chan

This is BS, most fMRI studies are complete pseudoscience. fMRI images are essentially photoshopped images of noise.

I'd hate to have that computer at work. I'd be in HR within the first hour.

The idea that there are pictures inside your head that are an analog of movie images is itself a joke. You might as well call a helmet with a camcorder duct taped to it a mind reading device. The idea that the technologies that exist are anything like the article's bullshiat is fundamentally flawed (I'm not aiming that at you).
