Predicting what someone is seeing should be as "simple" as decoding the system the brain uses to translate signals from the ocular nerves into vision.  As I understand it, this is one of the more basic things that the brain does, and it should be fairly similar for all humans and other mammals (so, yes, it might work on your cat, assuming it's for real).<br><br>A much harder form of mind-reading would involve reading what someone is imagining, thinking, or remembering things.  I don't think we are even sure what the relevant systems are for those higher functions.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tmnag]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2007 2:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Researcher claims to read thoughts from neuronal activity]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/researcher-claims-to-read-thoughts-from-neuronal-activity/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/researcher-claims-to-read-thoughts-from-neuronal-activity/</guid><description><![CDATA[I thought they meant what someone is seeing as in "imagining".

We cannot even figure out a definitive purpose of certain higher level functions like dreaming, I am sure they are unable to read anyone's thoughts.
