Take a scanner, the subjects that make you think of a topic, and ask Marcel to find what was the object! Well, if this doctor has developed a program to determine the brain activation induced when a person think of an object selected from a dozen other predefined objects. During this study, subjects were in the scanner and had to think of objects that appeared on a screen, like a hammer, a screwdriver, a house, an apartment and so on. Then the computer does not know which elements are displayed on had a choice between 2 proposals. Every word that induces a specific pattern of brain activation to achieve recognition. This is still limited because the identification of thought is one of only 2 proposals. It is still light years from the reading of thought. The interesting thing is that this technique is applicable to all human beings without any preparation, in other words, despite all conceptualize the hammer in a different way, however we have a pattern of brain activation very close. Strongly that we can see the article on the study to ensure that this is true. Patients that suffer from brain damage like different types of cerebral palsy showed similar results. Until then you can see the show 60 minutes following is an excerpt: This is in addition to Dr. Haynes who last year conducted a study with MRI in which subjects choose between making a mental addition subtraction, then or performed. The researchers were able to predict a rate higher than the opportunity to exercise what they thought the issues before you. These studies provide new understanding of human thought, these results are very exciting.
