Researchers from the University of California, learned to "eavesdrop" inner monologue rights by creating a special device that converts brain waves into text and sound. They hooked up the set of electrodes to the human brain centers responsible for hearing, and then using sophisticated electronic processing had the opportunity to hear words that are pronounced the man himself.
It has long been known that professional musicians, watching a video game pianist in the mute mode, it is still "hear" the melody. This fact prompted researchers to suggest that we can try to make the reverse process.
Install built a team of scientists led by Robert Knight, analyzes human brain waves, and then using a special electronic dictionary "translates" them into sounds. Thus, with staff, University of California recognizes the sounds of their mental realization. Neuroscientists have conducted an experiment in which 15 people attended. Implanted in the brain of each subject's set of electrodes, they gave people to listen to a dialogue or a monologue lasting for five minutes. At this time, the researchers scanned the brain regions react to sounds.
At the final stage of the experiment, scientists gave people listen to one word, then the machine instantly translated to text and sound, based on the performance of nerve impulses. Despite the fact that the quality of "digested" the sound is not ideal, researchers celebrate their victory: they proved that to read minds is quite real. N euro scientists believe that their discovery will allow patients who fall into a coma or have lost the power of speech after a stroke, to communicate with their loved ones. And with the technology can transmit thoughts at a distance by means of special hand-held devices.
