The Principles of Mind Reading

  

Soon we will be able to read the thoughts in peoples minds.  In Newsweek of the 4th of February 2008 we can read the article titled Mind Reading Is Here.

It is now possible to distinguish various perceptions that are present in the Brain and in consciousness, by tracing patterns of neural activity with functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).

 

If we extrapolate the development some years, it is quite obvious that we soon we will be able to "pick the brains" of people - quite literally. We will be able to display what people are thinking, on a screen, like a film or a video game.

 

This will then be the day when we will see real justice being handed out, in that witnesses literally will tell the truth and nothing but the truth – on a screen that can be shown to a jury in a courtroom.

 

This will be the time when we can operate a car simply by visualizing what the
car should do.

And we will be able to operate a computer by thinking out commands to the computer. We can operate a word processor without touching the keyboard.

 

How does Mind Reading work?

 

The Brain is a physical machine that obeys natural physical laws, and each thought and emotion has its own physical form. This physical form can be distinguished, just in the same way as we can see how a natural physical object has a certain shape, and colour, and temperature, and surface texture, and so on. The shapes inside the Brain have their own physical properties that, from the "outside", can be distinguished with sensitive measuring devices.

 

The Brain is a computer. It contains data.

It absorbs impressions from the environment, and builds up units of data in its neural circuits. For example "apple", "car" and "sister". The apple for breakfast is a distinct unit of information, a piece of data, that appears time and time again in the Brain and in consciousness.

 

Can we see what form the perception of apple has in the Brain?

Can we know what properties the mental object of apple has in the Brain,

so that we can grab hold of it when it occurs, and bring it out into the open?

 

We can.

We can, and you can, see how data appears, and how it is stored, in the Brain.

 

And what more, we can see how the Brain takes pieces of data and manipulates these – to make up the process of Thinking.

And we can even see how the Brain can take several pieces of data and from these make up new thoughts. We can see how the Brain is capable of

Drawing Conclusions and of Creative Thinking.

 

This is a brand new science. This is where the forefront of natural sciences runs at the moment. It is the point where computer science and human physiology and psychology meet. And the outcome is utterly fascinating insights into how the Human Brain works.

 

Do you want to see intimately how your own Brain,

  - your own Most Personal Computer -  works?

 

It is possible. It is actually all very natural, and simple, and logical – once you have become acquainted with the basic components of the Brain, the neural networks, and how these are connected. Then you'll see that it all is a very natural process.

 

You'll get a deeply satisfying understanding of your own Brain,

and you will also see how Mind Reading works.

 

It is all described in the eBook:

 



 

I have written the book on the basis of more than twenty years of work with computers – programming and building information systems – and Brain research at the Technical University of Helsinki and the University of Cape Town.

 

I have come to realize how the computer of the Brain works, and how it can be described in nitty gritty detail – just as clearly as one can describe how a car engine works.

 

And, I have come to realize – and you will realize – how the data that occurs in the Brain can be picked up from the "outside" and shown on display. The eBook

describes how a Mind Reader works.
