Scientists extract images directly from brain ::: Pink Tentacle

Apparently, scientists in Japan have just been able to view images of what is going on in someone's head. What they did was stick a person in an MRI and a computer keeps track of changes in blood flow and what not and uses that information to figure out what is in the person's mind. So far, all they have been able to reproduce are simple black and white images, but we all know how fast things like this move. Especially because I am sure governments all over the world are gonna be all over this. It sounds kind of cool at first, and there is actually a lot of good this can do, but I highly doubt its main application will be used for all the cool stuff. This actually scares me.
