"Thoughtcrime is death. Thoughtcrime does not entail death. Thoughtcrime IS death. I have committed even before setting pen to paper the essential crime that contains all others unto itself." The shape of things to come? Scientists at Berkeley conceive a way to use MRI imaging to "map" images in the brain. "Our results suggest that it may soon be possible to reconstruct a picture of a person's visual experience from measurements of brain activity alone. Imagine a general brain-reading device that could reconstruct a picture of a person's visual experience at any moment in time...It is possible that decoding brain activity could have serious ethical and privacy implications downstream in, say, the 30 to 50-year time frame."
