Hitachi Develops Mind Reader – Couch Potatoes Don’t Budge

Posted by Bill Belew on August 12th, 2010 in Japanese Products | Comments Off

No kidding…Hitachi, Ltd research institute has developed a basic technology that can read people's minds, based on measuring subtle changes in blood flow in their brains.

The main beneficiaries of this breakthrough will be the handicapped and lazy people.

The handicapped will be able to operate electrical appliances, wheelchairs and so on. Couch potatoes will be able to change TV channels.

Near-infrared rays measure how blood flows in the brain (those with brains) and converts the measurements to images that become electronic signals.

It's a great idea for the handicapped……repeat after me, the handicapped…not the lazy, immovable slobs who might send someone out to buy and install it for them because they don't want to think about it.

What do you think?
