Mind-reading and memory recording MRI scan
The first ever commercial brain scan for the purpose ofrecording thoughts and memories for future playback took place in September. The inaugural patient of Millenium Magnetic Technologies (MMT) thought recording technology was software developer Anthony Broussard from Houston Texas, who paid around £1,200 to have his memories preserved.
"Some people call it thought identification but it's essentially mind reading," Donald Marks, founder and chief science officer of MMT, told IBTimes UK. "The visual reconstruction (of the thoughts) is kind of crude right now but the data is definitely there and it will get better, it's just a matter of refinement.
"That information is stored - once you've recorded that information it's there forever. In the future we'll be able to reconstruct the data we have now much better."
