I caught wind of this via @timoreilly on twitter. It was announced yesterday that researchers from Japan’s ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories have developed new brain analysis technology that can reconstruct the images inside a person’s mind and display them on a computer monitor! One of the many possibilities arising from the discussion of this discovery that I find especially fascinating suggests "that a future version of this technology could be applied in the fields of art and design — particularly if it becomes possible to quickly and accurately access images existing inside an artist’s head." Talk about mashups!
Some of the more frightening thoughts running through my head may lead to a new collaboration with M dot Strange featuring a cameo by the thought police.
