Be careful !, Science seems to be close to your Mind

Don’t get tensed, it won’t put immense pressure on you. It’s just a new way of mind reading where the scientists have shown that it is possible to read your mind by simply looking at your brain’s activity. They have developed a new kind of scanner for measuring the blood flow that can read spatial memories. Based on the blood flow they were able to tell, where volunteers were located in the computer-generated virtual reality environment. It is possible to predict where you are, just by looking at the brain data. The discovery opens up the possibility of developing machines to read a range of memories, although scientist Maguire said the risk of "intrusive" mind reading was still a long way off. He used a technology known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) used to highlight the brain regions, when they are active. These scientists usually underwent a simple test in which the volunteers are asked to play a virtual reality computer games, what amusing? They were able to measure the activity of certain neurons in the hippocampus, a region known to be critical for navigation and memory. It has been a greatest inventory so far, as it paves way for analyzing how other thoughts including memories of past and visualizations of the feature.
