Does anyone have any doubts about how this technology will be actually used? No more police interrogations. Just scans followed by arrests. Pretty cool. With the growing plethora of laws it is impossible to go a day in the USA without committing some sort of crime.

This means they will be able to also use it regarding dreams.

If they can manage the reverse process as well—words received to brain waves, or better yet, concepts—you have telepathy, at least within radio range. Would be very valuable militarily.

Donning his new canine decoder, Professor Schwartzman becomes the first human being on Earth to hear what barking dogs are actually saying.

Only a slight functionality gain over radios.

For words/sentences, yes. If concepts/ideas could be shared, would be a game changer.

This also will tend to solidify the notion in neuroscientists' minds that we are merely meat machines.

Our thoughts will be monitored for our own good, because meat machines don't have rights, only responsibilities to the state.

Totalitarian thugs the world over are salivating... every day in the future Winston will have a 'scan' to prove he's thinking right thoughts...

Is it safe to assume that the patient’s name is Joe Biden?

Funny you should mention that. Look up V2K (Voice to Skull) technology. The USAF has had a patent on it since 1996. It was discovered in 1962 as the Frey effect or microwave hearing. It drifts off into the conspiratorial weeds with “Targeted Individuals” but the technology appears to be real with multiple applications.
