The brain scanners that we read about and watched a short clip on, is an amazing new study that basically scans your brain for images that you have seen/watched in the past. In the test that they did in the article by Evan Ackerman, they used an MRI machine to watch for patterns that are the same as the things that people watch on the monitor and the ones that are in their head. In the example, they watched about 18,000,000 seconds of random youtube clips stitched together. With time and experiments, they were able to get information out of people's head to make the video clips (blurry at that) come to life.
What Ackerman is basically saying in the article is that in a few decades or so, the scientists said that they'll be able to suck out better quality images, and with that open a whole new door. They could possibly use it on criminals, and completely wipe out the use of judges,etc. They could also use it to record and intrepret dreams. They could even use it to make videos, cameras, and cam corders OBSOLETE. Through recording images that are high quality and first person from your brain, what do you need a camera for to reminisce on? All of your best footage is right there in your brain!!!
