Mind Reading Device

The Mind Reading devices take the mental state of a person as input. This is similar to the input by a mouse or a keyboard. Telepathy or mind-reading using a computer is a way of transferring data between people using methods that are different from human senses. The mind-reading is done by computer devices that are specially made for this purpose. Mind-reading devices make use of facial expressions of people in knowing what they feel. The goal of such a device is to increase the interaction between a computer and a human being. It needs the use of a digital video camera that records human expressions. The mind-reading system compares the facial expression of a person with his behavior to conclude his mental state.  

Need for Mind Reading 

This also involves the consideration of a person’s head movements. There is such mind-reading software that can make consideration of the 24 features of a face to know the facial expressions w.r.t. the real-time scenario. For identification of the smile and raised eyebrows of a person, the movement, shape, and color changes are monitored. All these combinations help a mind-reading computer to know the mental state of a person. This is all done so that a person can be attributed to his/her actions. This would help to know trends in online shopping and even in enhancing learning experiences. 

Technologies of Mind Reading

• Futuristic Head: The futuristic head is responsible for measuring the blood and oxygen levels around a person’s brain using a method called spectroscopy. The light is emitted by the futuristic head. The head calculates the light that the human head was unable to absorb thereby giving it a sense of the metabolic needs of the human brain. A chip is installed in both the right and left brain that allows data transfer between the brains and also is a way of storing data for the long term.

• Brain Chip: It is a processor with a connection to the neurocomputer. It contains artificial intelligence. It contains data about the sensory information and thoughts of a person. It is inserted in the brain of a person to control his/her thoughts and movements. It is used for behavior correction in cases of a Landfall. This involves knowledge of the method called neural engineering and Biomimetic Microelectronic Systems.

Working Of Mind Reading Technology

For mind reading to work, FNIRS or functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy is utilized. This technology measures the amount of blood in the human brain. It also takes into account the oxygen level in the brain. The people whose minds are to be read are given head gears and are asked to do simple tasks such as basic maths etc. to know their brain functioning. The headband is studded with lights that are absorbed by the head tissues and get activated. The results of the tests ate correlated with the MRI scans. The person would then be asked to rate the level of complexity of the task and all such data would be noted and analyzed.  

Applications of Mind reading 

1. The mind-reading concepts can be used in bankruptcy prediction by various loan providers.
2. It can even be used in facial recognition.
3. It can know what can be seen by looking at a person. Mind Reading system is a boon for the paralyzed people who cannot use speech and voluntary movement.
4. It reads their mind and can convert it into speech and also allow movement of the parts of the body that are not in control (lost control due to paralysis) of the human.
5. Mind reading computers can be used to know the feelings and to communicate with the people who are in a coma. This might become a way to bring them back to normalcy.
6. It can be used by the police officers and military people to know if a culprit or terrorist is going to commit crimes and acts of inhumanity. The treatment of the person can be done in accordance with the information received by the system.
