Ehh ... I'll be repetitive, but every time I read an article which speaks of thought, mind and brain can not do it just not posted here in the blog ...
Tell me, what's more fascinating than the human mind?! What intrigues most of what is still partly unknown?! You can never really read minds?!
Happy reading:)
"So you can read minds"
Adele Sarno 
For the first time a group of London scientists have used scanners for magnetic resonance imaging to 'read minds'. This was possible because in the study were identified traces of memory 'fixes' visible and measurable in the brain
soon have to pay attention to what's on our mind, because with the help of a scanner, you can read his thoughts. These in fact may leave behind visible and measurable in the brain. The experiment has succeeded to a team of researchers at the University of London, which recorded the brain activity related to different types of memories. With an apparatus for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which is normally used to monitor the activity of various organs, the researchers analyzed the mental processes that occur in the lumbar region of the brain storm and noted that the memories they leave a sort of permanent mark that can be deciphered. In other words they are able to identify the footprint of a memory that stimulates thought. The work is based on the so-called "memory traces", whose existence is accepted by almost a century but whose mechanisms, nature and location remain largely a mystery. This study, published in Current Biology , try to understand the mechanisms by using the "episodic memory". In the experiment, scholars have undergone six women and four men, mean age of 21 years, the projection of three different film clips, each lasting seven seconds. All the films were similar and showed a number of people engaged in normal daily activities: post a letter, have a coffee, walk. After watching the participants described, upon request, what they remembered scenes hardly seen. At that moment came into action the 'scanner' that monitored the memory traces left in the brain. In the second part of the test, volunteers had to remember random clips while they were subjected to resonance. In half the cases, the computer could predict what would they say. This happens, the researchers said, because the traces of memory associated with each clip remained unchanged for the duration of the experiment, suggesting that these were "fixed." Thus, the functional magnetic resonance imaging machine, recording the 'memory traces' has proven to be able to read minds. But, added the researchers, the traces of memories for each of three projections were similar in all participants. "Although the brain patterns were generally different for each individual, there is considerable similarity in the hippocampal areas activated by the memory," write the study Always the same team of neuroscientists at University College London had already been shown to be able to 'see' thoughts di una persona posta in una situazione di realtà virtuale. “La ricerca è un passo in avanti, ma è ancora una tecnica in fase embrionale e va sviluppata in futuro”.
