Very cool. I'm not sure I like being compared to a sea slug, but I guess I'll get over it.

I take tryptophan (a precursor to serotinin) as a nutritional supplement. I'll have to up the dose. :D

I just hope they figure out how to stop/reverse Alzheimer's.

This is groundbreaking stuff. Amazing. I wonder what the memory they have pictured is?

I think it's from a sea slug, so they probably won' ever know.

fMRI can already read your thoughts - sort of. It measures blood flow and since this increases with neuronal activity (with a slight delay), they can tell which parts of your brain are active. But I'm pretty sure they can go quite a bit farther still. And that's just the shit they tell us about. :eek: :cool:

I know the CIA did extensive research on mind control/mind reading and they basically gave up.

Yeah, the entire govt should be up for an emmy, for how convincing a job they are doing.
