British scientists invented the brain scanners read human thinking

By the United Kingdom and Germany and other countries of the world top scientists of the nervous system of a research team has developed an insight into the human brain, reading out the "done" before the "heart" of the brain scanners.

According to the United Kingdom the Guardian reported that these scientists use high-resolution brain scanners on human brain scan, use a computer to find the unique pattern of human activities or the activities of the different thinking, unique signal and then scanning the brain to find these signals, then the scanned information into concrete thinking, reading out a person want to do. This is the first scientists to the success of this way of thinking.

Researchers make voluntary test object decided on two numbers is a plus or minus. The screen flashes before these two numbers, the researchers applied a functional magnetic resonance imaging technology, on the test object's brain scan, then one can identify the subtle changes in human brain activities of software test object is projected to do addition or subtraction, forecast accuracy rate reached 70%.

The research team from the United Kingdom London College, Oxford University and research institutions in Germany by neural scientists. Research group leader, Germany's Max Planck · human cognition and Brain Sciences Institute Professor Hynes on the guardian said: applying the human brain scanner you can search for relevant information in the human brain, the interpretation of the world outside the brain cannot know everything. Like a flashlight, find it on the wall wrote.

This technology can boost brain-controlled computer and the progress of brain-controlled machinery, can improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities. It can also be used in medical diagnosis and education and other fields.

The scientific community believe that this breakthrough research allows scientists to probe glimpse of human thinking, control their thoughts. Although there is as yet not to exaggerate the thinking capacity of interpreting techniques, but to be sure, this kind of technology will continue to progress, people can detoxify complex thinking, even before it is not yet clear to capture, detection of human motivation, hope, emotional thinking activity will become more and more powerful. Currently, the application of the human mind reading technology that serious scientific ethics issues now before us, you should immediately in this debate. Professor Hynes on the guardian reporter said: "such a technology appeared, we must expand to the consequences of ethical discussions. In this case, wait a day, for them to do something, we would not be surprised, not be subject to their control, nor does it have off feeling. In the next few years, these techniques will be demonstrated in front of us, we must be prepared. ”
