Mind-Reading Technology Developed

Japanese Scientists have developed software that can extract visual images stored in the mind of a human subject. An MRI is used to read the signals from the brain, which the software then translates into a reproduced image. I'm sure this technology will find some very active uses (and misuses.)

Media has a way of making a big deal out of nothing.
Technology is nowhere near to predicting your thoughts yet. Worse still, some reports even alleged it can read your dreams, when there was no mention of dreams in the original paper!
