    This has to be the most dystopian thing I’ve ever read. If the rich and the elites have the power to read our thoughts (outside of a lab) with 80-90% accuracy, I genuinely don’t know what the point of living will be. Our eternal enslavement will be completed, they could control our emotions, desires and needs, we would literally become animals.

      It would be good that shit works for that but I don’t think so… let’s see what happens when the NSA have access to your thoughts.

      Edit: I think they will apply the “if you didn’t hide anything then there is nothing to worry about” discourse.

          Maybe it could be possible to connect someone sleeping to the brain of someone else to do mind-control IDK, or do you believe it will be some kind of AI?

    It’s concerning how this pseudoscience is getting so much traction, and we’ll be left with a bunch of nonsensical privacy regulation. Granted I’m happy to err towards too much privacy regulation, but can imagine other privacy issues getting less traction.

      Maybe this isn’t pseudoscience anymore… I must admit I need to see these stuff working in person to believe it but according to the video this is definetly interesting at least or it could open a new era in human civilization.

          I believe it should work with some kind of brain waves(telepathy?), apparently some kind of device you put in your head and it read information from your brain, the spooky question would be if there is a way to make a device like that to be able to read information from someone’s brain remotely. IDK this looks like a bad idea but anyway it’s already here, according to the information I believe there will be more places where law get updated about it.

          Edit: maybe it could be used for interrogation also, I mean you could know if someone it’s saying the truth or not by reading their brain.

            Reading thoughts remotely is a no-go, you need very precise measurements of the brain’s electrical activity and that just can’t be done with distant sensors.

              Maybe there are people who have more powerful brain waves or something… like some kind of abnormality who can make they more likely to be remote targets…

                I’m no expert in biology but the way I understand it our brains all work in roughly the same way, so I don’t think that would be possible.

    You’re going to have to drag my corpse into a lab to put any neuro any-fucking-thing in or on my head.
