The scientists took an off-the-shelf Emotiv brain-computer interface, a device that costs around $299, which allows users to interact with their computers by thought.
The scientists then sat their subjects in front of a computer screen and showed them images of banks, people, and pin numbers. They then tracked the readings coming off of the brain, specifically the P300 signal…
Scientists that conducted the experiment found they could reduce the randomness of the images by 15 to 40 percent, giving them a better chance of guessing the correct answer.

Just concentrate on your most fantastic sexual fantasy and they’ll get nowhere.

Good. It’ll come in handy if Obama wins re-election. We can use it to figure out what the hell a majority of the electorate was thinking.

The NYT is reporting that Republicans have racist thoughts 99% of the time. The other 1% is devoted to murder.

I must not be a typical conservative. I think about stealing womyns baby preventen pills, and pushing little old ladies off cliffs. Oh, and legitimate rape. I’m always thinking about legitimate rape. And how I can strap the neighbor’s dog to the grill of my car for some “vacation” time.

I have a Tin foil hat that would probably protect me against this.

NBC is reporting that 0% of blacks are thinking about voting for Romney, and 100% are worried about the return of slavery.

Yes…easily available and off the shelf. I’m buying mind reading machines all the time. Maybe Amazon has a deal on them…
Nope…apparently sold out. I guess everyone is buying them.

the black vote is lost, for many reasons, one of them being, that blacks seem racist themselfs. I seems clear to me, that black social conservatives are putting their ethnicity before their convictions. moving on, latinos are not 100% on obama side, those are my concern.

Who are the 53%?
Not fair to count current SS recipients as they wouldn’t be impacted by a tax increase. Should also not count people whose contributions are already so low as to be insignificant.

Luckily, my brain still has the old P200 transmitter, which is incompatible with current gadgets.
