Mind reading was considered to be an art or a trick that helps to know what other people think in their mind. But now for the first time, scientists have researched and found that by looking at brain’s activity, it may be possible to read a person’s mind. In a computer-generated environment, a set of volunteers where asked to occupy different places.
With the help of a scanner which is used to measure blood flow, the scientists were able to tell where they were located. They just looked at the brain data and predicted this exactly. Though this cannot be termed as a complete mind reading, this opens up the way to develop machines that can read some range of memories. When they scanned the brains of the people, they were able to observe the activity of certain neurons in a region which is very critical for memory. This will certainly help the research in memory disorders and it can also help to find how the brain records memories in the hippocampus region.
