"Brain Scans Reveal What You’ve Seen
By Brandon Keim September 24, 2009
Scientists are one step closer to knowing what you’ve seen by reading your mind.
Having modeled how images are represented in the brain, the researchers translated recorded patterns of neural activity into pictures of what test subjects had seen.
Though practical applications are decades away, the research could someday lead to dream-readers and thought-controlled computers.
“It’s what you would actually use if you were going to build a functional brain-reading device,” said Jack Gallant, a University of California, Berkeley neuroscientist."

It is my belief that if you know what people are going to choose, then you would know what product to stock, and at what price to stock each product.
Of course, as the saying goes, everyone has a right to change their mind...or something to that extent. So, how long would this theory work. Or would it work at all. I think it could only be immediate. Because, you don't know what someone is going to want from one day to the next.
In addition to that, fads change. And people go from style to style, for decades. Of course, after that, they do have a tendency to go back to what was in style years before. Like bell-bottom pants, nickers and other vintage clothes which seem to come back, only with a different name.

Practicing controlling and talking to computers with out minds it going to make us better at it. I think we would be talking to each other like that. But then it would be really really confusing and scary cause anyone could make any sound and people wouldn't know real sound from fake sound.
