I'll have what the dog's eating.
April Fools is tomorrow.
April Fool -
I would bet the communists of the world, would love to get their hands on this. Then we will really see, what thought crimes are all about. 👎
What if you got some silly earworm running through your head?
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
If you’ve got water on the brain
Don’t light the flame or you’ll be to blame
The spark of love may take your breath
The water starts a-streamin’
Your ears will start to steamin’
And you’ll perculate yourself to death

The researchers believe that the machine could one day help patients who suffer from conditions that don’t allow them to speak or move …. . . or allow the thought police to ascertain what’s going on inside your head.

And Obama is thinking, “I dodged a bullet there!”
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.
Now everybody can have Tourette syndrome.
Great.
“No dear, I was only thinking about Marie Osmond because I just saw that commercial.”
