New mind-reading machine can translate your thoughts and display them as text INSTANTLY

Scientists have developed an astonishing mind-reading machine which can translate what you are thinking and instantly display it as text.

They claim that it has an accuracy rate of 90 per cent or more and say that it works by interpreting consonants and vowels in our brains.

The researchers believe that the machine could one day help patients who suffer from conditions that don't allow them to speak or move.

The machine registers and analyses the combination of vowels and consonants that we use when constructing a sentence in our brains.

It interprets these sentences based on neural signals and can translate them into text in real time.

In fact, scientists claim that the machine can use words that it hasn't even heard before.

That’s where I first heard it (Homer and Jethro). Lyrics indicated it was written by Steve Goodman.

(Her teeth were like the stars because they came out every night.) They just don’t write love songs like that anymore. ;O)

The “tinfoil hat” people, like many who were ahead of their time, may someday not be viewed as complete fools.

I can see it now - hats will make a big comeback, except they will be lined with mu-metal.

They’d probably put my head in a guillotine”

Take it a step further, to hack that meat processor. Some pretty good sci fi has touched on it in the last decade or so, author John Barnes comes to mind. If you can read from it, you’re not for from being able to write to it.

Strong delusion in the making...

“The average male thinks about sex every 7 seconds.”

I wonder what they think about the other six seconds?

Stuff like that would be in the false prophet’s department.

If that were true, no male would be able to drive any vehicle.

I wonder if it can be adapted for animals. My cat isn’t well now and it sure would help if she could communicate with me. :)

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

it could prolly work on whale or dolphin translations.

Maybe dogs too.

The average male thinks about sex every 7 seconds.

The above average think about it 7 times per second.

In other developments, I want to put this on Bill Clinton and ask him if he raped Juanita Broaddrick.

This is the best the article can do to explain how it works: “The machine registers and analyses the combination of vowels and consonants that we use when constructing a sentence in our brains. “ That tells me nothing.
One thing is sure: It’s not mind reading.
Do they mean “thoughts” or “subvocalizations”?
Are they aware than the words we say to ourselves are all over the place, and not the same as the words that we actually choose to pronounce so as to communicate with another human?
If those unpronounced words were printed out, it would be the ultimate embarassment.
I don’t like sensational articles that hide the facts and try to sway me with golly gee whiz claims, and capital letters with exclamations.
