Scientists Match Dream Images To Photos 47

scibri writes "Scientists have learned how to discover what you are dreaming about while you sleep. A team of Japanese researchers scanned the brains of three people as they slept, and compared the scans to those of the same people looking at photos of common objects. They were then able to tell, with 75% — 80% accuracy, if one of those images appeared in a dream."

    Seriously?
  • I've never been wrong when I've said: I can tell you're not dreaming about this picture I drew of the mobile drilling machine I piloted while trying to head off a subterranean nuke-missile and save the world, before I decided to take a detour and visit my "middle-earth" high-school, which is why the pic shows the Magma-Men and I gathered 'round the rig with glowing smiles.

    Honestly, you could monitor my dreams and accurately compare every photograph of everything in the entire Universe and you'd still never find a match for what's going on in my head -- Unless, on the off chance you have a picture of a gorgeous nude demon girl with charcoal skin and lidless black eyes with her arm around me sitting on the basket ball bleachers while we watch a swarm of angelic and infernal beasts play a celestial game of hoops with my flaming immortal soul...

"But what we need to know is, do people want nasally-insertable computers?"
