MRI, i am, i are
bbc had a piece on how MRIs can be used to, at present, read someone's mind, a bit, to see some basic things, such as a piece of math they've solved, or whether they're looking at a particular pattern.
now, if the MRI shows a certain pattern when the thought is present, who's to say this is not the core of what might be called telepathy, or 'getting the feeling someone is thinking about me'. too often, the phone rings and you know who's calling, without caller ID, without expecting them.
of course, it has been said, this can't be proved, therefore it's not science.
actually, it's merely unknown science; we don't know how it works, but we can observe it.
uh oh, Schrodinger's Cat!
that will be another posting. but if our puny machines can read enough info via MRI so we might discern at least if someone is looking at a face instead of a circle, then might it be possible that these patterns could be "read" by someone else, without distance being an issue?
and that we simply don't know the mechanism, so to speak of how this works...
here's the bbc story
