Researchers
have been able to read brain activity and recreate memories using techniques similar
to Mind surf, so called noninvasive "caps" (based on Brain Computer
Interface technology) that reads and interprets data directly from the brain.
Before the actual
test, the test subject looks at a photograph. Later, when they are connected to
the system, they are asked to think hard about the memory of that image. The
computer can then recreate the memory on a display. The result is not exact but
nevertheless amazing. The computer reads the defacto person's memories /
thoughts.
The biggest
problem for researchers is that the noninvasive systems gives weak signals, a problem
that Eric Söderqvist’s Nanogel would have resolved easily.
