Hi

In the Sunday Times there is an article about research being done at the University of California into psychic computers. Scientists have discovered how to "read" minds by scanning brain activity and reproduce images of what people are seeing or even remembering. This could herald a new era in which an individual's private thoughts can be readily accessed.

What do you think of that? Would you like to have your private thoughts accessed? It could all be a bit embarrassing :!: :shock:

    Hi Joan

    I wonder if this would help the docs understand exactly how we feel?

    How strange that you have responded to this thread, because I was just thinking that you would :!: Do you think this is a psychic computer already reading my mind??

    Hi Carol

    Emotions and feelings might not be covered I think. Far too complicated !!

    Well they have a go at reading mine but they won’t get much of a response I reckon, queue the sound of wind and visualise tumble weed blowing across an arid desolate wilderness. :shock:

    Could be Joan, or maybe you are stalking me :shock:

    Or maybe I'm just psychic!
