A COMPUTER
PROGRAM THAT READ MINDS
What is we were able to read each others thoughts? Well
there is a new computer program,( developed in the US) that is capable of
decoding peoples thoughts. Electrodes would have to be implanted in the brain
though, to predict what you are seeing, based on the electrical signals coming
from the electrodes. Even more amazing, the decoding takes place within
milliseconds of you seeing an image.
In future, this application will greatly benefit those
unable to speak. In 2004 two scientists transmitted thoughts to each other
using a brain to brain link, while in 2011, researchers translated brain waves
into the movie clips people were watching at the time.
Brain facts
There are differences in the ways women and men
feel pain, make decisions and cope with stress
The part of the brain responsible for
multitasking do not fully mature until we are 16 or 17years old. The average adult
brain weighs between 1.3 and 1.4kg.
The brain accounts for about 2 percent of the
body weight, but uses about 20 percent
of the oxygen in the blood.
The folded, meandering surface of the brain
allows it to pack in more surface area therefore lending it more processing
power
