Impressive. AI recreates what you are seeing, based on brain scan : https://mind-vis.github.io/

Chile is already considering NeuroRights legislation for it : https://restofworld.org/2021/chile-neuro-rights/

Quite right.

I strongly believe that mind-reading is going to be with us sooner, and more accurate / successfully than we expect.

And we need to be ready for the privacy and human "dignity" implications of this.

What happens to privacy when the courts can demand to know what you really think, and have the technology that really does it?

What happens to dignity when machines can accurately see (and respond to) the thoughts we are about to form before we become consciously aware of them? (We already know this is happening and can do it in a limited way in experiments. But once we have a portable trained headset that can do this and be more specific about our ideas.

What happens when we get mental "pacemakers"? Machines that can hurry up the production of thoughts based on predictions? A kind of "autocomplete" for them?
