Your thoughts can now be real images????

This article is informing about a new (and a little scary) method capable of decoding the patterns in visual areas of the brain to determine what someone has seen, meaning that this method and new technology can translate what the brain is thinking, (while dreaming, reading a book, etc) into images.
"This general visual decoder would have great scientific and practical use," the researchers say. "We could use the decoder to investigate differences in perception across people, to study covert mental processes such as attention, and perhaps even to access the visual content of purely mental phenomena such as dreams and imagery."
This is a huge step for technology, because for years scientists had been trying to make something like this, and the only thing that they got when they tried, was decoding numbers and patterns, but nothing specific!

How did they get from not having nothing, to getting images from the brain?
After a long time of trying, scientists started working with a new method, they asked a person to think about an specific object, and later a specific situation, while they thaught of that, they decoded patterns and numbers, after a long time of doing this, they started understanding and getting more related to the human brain, and after alot of studying, they got it.

But still, people should not get confused! This is an algorithm that can indentify images by translating brain activity, it is still huge for technology, but not as people think, it is not like a movie of peoples thaughts, it can only show some images,and it is still a far way from reading minds!

my opinion
I think this articule is awesome, I thaught it was very interesting, I did not know that such a thing that could actually put what someone is thinking in pictures could exist, I think that the people invented this, should continue studying about it and maybe invent something more, discover something new about the human brain, or maybe even discover a medicine or something related to the brain that has not been discovered! I really think this was an excellent idea, but I also think, they should do more experiments in this because it really is a new thing, and maybe it causes some problems that people are not aware of right now, I think they should test it before trying it with alot of persons and putting them in some kind of risk! If there is a problem with it, I think they should fix it, but still continue with this project because it is really cool and alot of good thinks could come out of it!! I thought this was a really interesting article!!I had never heard of something like this, and it impressed me, i think it is really cool!!!
