wow, no shit! about a year ago I was saying "wouldnt it be bad ass if they made like a machine that you wore when you slept, (something no bigger than your average mp3 player) you know with things you hook to your head (that arent uncomfortable) and you could record your dreams. then when you wake up, plug it up to  your cpu and watch your dreams.

man that would be some crazy whacked out shit! People would share their dreams at  dream parties

Re: 'Mind-reading' software could record your dreams

Unfortunately it seems that software only reconstructs an image from signals produced in the primary visual area, which can be relatively easy.
Reconstructing remembered, interpreted or imagined pictures is certainly not for tomorrow...

And so much the better. such a thing would be really frightening

Re: 'Mind-reading' software could record your dreams

yeah...imagine how would be sharing each others dreams, second day...in .avi format

Re: 'Mind-reading' software could record your dreams

A lot of what is experienced in dreams can't only be mental representations of visual stimuli. For example, watching my dog run in her sleep makes me think that there are also somatic components to dreams. Even when we are awake the mind combines what we feel with what we see (or hear) and sometimes when we feel something the mind assumes that we saw it as well. Maybe if they add an EMG to record muscle activity you would be a step closer?

yeaah..i remember reading about sending clones in cryo sleep to mars, reactivating them and then beaming a laser from earth to upload a human into the clone.

as far as I know, it is not possible as soon as the conscience is not a digital process. Maybe with quantum computers, there would be a way to think about it, but quantum computers are still a dream

current state of the art with quantum computing is 10-qubit systems with nuclear magnetic resonance..
