Dec 12 2008Invasion Of Privacy: Scientists Aim To Extract Images/Dreams Directly From Your Brain
A team of Japanese researchers believe they're well on the way to developing a technology capable of displaying whatever is on a person's mind. Including pictures, dreams, and, God willing, sex with dinosaurs.
While the team for now has managed to reproduce only simple images from the brain, they said the technology could eventually be used to figure out dreams and other secrets inside people's minds.
"It was the first time in the world that it was possible to visualize what people see directly from the brain activity," the private institute said in a statement."By applying this technology, it may become possible to record and replay subjective images that people perceive like dreams."
Say, this reminds me of one of my own favorite dreams: I exit my cave wearing only an animal pelt. I spot a triceratops -- it catches my gaze. I approach and begin tenderly rubbing its horns while making cooing sounds. The beast gores me. I lay in the mud, bleeding to death. With my last breath I reach out to touch its genitals and....it crushes my arm with a single stomp from one of its massive legs. i wake from the dream dripping sweat, and also, other stuff. Damn -- I should write romance novels!

The GW's obsession with dinosaur sex is disturbing, but in a good way.

What does your dream mean when you're standing on top of a pyramind in sun-god robes and there's a thousand screaming women throwing pickles at you?
6. Thumperchica - December 12, 2008 11:42 AM
Creepy.
So not only is GW obsessed with dino sex, he's a sub-masochist as well.... interesting...

@5 - it means you've watched "Real Genuis" one too many times. ^_^
10. Daisy - December 12, 2008 11:46 AM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like the scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max made a brain recording of having sex, and passed out when he spliced it into a loop and played it back into his brain.
11. Sassypants - December 12, 2008 11:55 AM
Daisy - I shouldn't even say anything but there's no apostrophe in the word "shadows".
jeez. if you're going to post the same damn thing each day, could you at least try to get your punctuation correct?

Hey Daisy...that sounds exactly like a dream I had where I recorded one of my farts, added reverb to it and looped it for several days on my 5.1 surrond sound. There was so much bass coming from the subwoofer that my cat shat in his own mouth then died shortly after. I was so upset about my cat I kicked the center cone of the subwoofer. I forgot it was made of cheese and my foot bounced off of it and sent me into a spiral into outter space. That's when I woke up to my alarm clock but I couldn't snooze it because there was a pile of shit right on my snooze button!

I dreamt I had a camera made out of cake. I would try to operate the camera cake , pushing the buttons with my fingers and thumbs, only to start squishing and separating the cake. Mooshing the cake between my fingers until I make a complete fist, then I will lick all the frosting off my hands..
mmmm frosting!
14. Lunchbox - December 12, 2008 12:10 PM

What a weird technology.
Anyhow, why couldn't people just recount what they've dreamed about and let some animation geek animate it for them? What about just write an essay?
No? Why not? Come on!
Well, I've always wanted my friends to see this recurring dream of mine that has haunted me since high school.
It's about this young man, 5 feet 4 inches tall, who sat next to me in Home Ec.
He appears to be red-skinned and has a long brown and braided hair. He sometimes wear a feathered headband to class and shouts
"War is coming to the west!
Our revenge will be finally fulfilled!
Babylon, Mesopotamia, and Persia
Will rise again to bring sorrow and despair
Upon this nation's people!"
I really never knew what it meant until this day. Creeps me out, thinking that it always seems to be in my dreams every now and then.

It is an interesting concept, but I can already see what most GUYS are thinking on just about every porn site out there. It would be cool to create a porno for your friends using your mind though. You could even give Bruce Springstien or David Bowie a cameo appearance in your personal porn.

So how far of a stretch is it to project images into the brain? Total Recall, anyone? Will we find out ways to selectively delete memories? Is the brain RAM or ROM? No more jails, just people living normal lives with no memory of their past evils is how they'll sell it to us. Starts to sound rather Dick-ish. (no reference to hand cake orgies and apologies for amplifying something that Daisy had in the post for this topic) I fear this more than robot apocalypse and dino re-animation (for whatever purpose)

@ 9 - glad someone knew that!

25. Sue - December 13, 2008 11:33 AM
Is the picture on the monitor supposed to be his dreams?
Cause it looks more like he's playing Second Life.
26. sm1 - December 14, 2008 7:35 AM

27. Pixie - December 16, 2008 4:11 PM

okay i got a few questions, one, was the dinosaur hot?? if so its cool dude lol Two, why woud you dram about the mooshy hand?? i got the moosh and it wasn't that great.. three, have you guys gotten a legitimate image from a brain yet? from which someone has said, yeah i was thinking that. because frankly it sounds impossible to me to transfer the wave patterns to an image, or whatever the hell you guys are doin, but it sounds interesting. id like to know more about it.
31. covis - April 13, 2009 4:16 AM
and also daisy all the lighting is right, i have no doubt this picture is legitimate, and not shopped.
