Brain scan to "read people's minds"

A simple brain scan can read a person's unconscious thoughts, scientists claim. Functional MRI scans plot brain activity by looking at brain blood flow and are already being used by researchers. As the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk reports, a team from the University College London http://www.ucl.ac.uk found that using fMRi, they could tell what a person was thinking deep down even when the individual was unaware themselves. According to the experts, the findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, offer exciting new ways to probe the subconscious.
