Basically, subjects were given a couple of movie trailers to watch.

Using cool scientific equipment, they were able to "render" what the subjects were visualizing by measuring blood flow to specific portions of the section in the brain that is responsible for vision.  This is a pretty huge thing, in my opinion.

Discuss your thoughts on this new information.

Oh my god. I wonder how long it will be before they can perfect, and then reverse this process.

I would have been thinking about vaginas while watching those.

I cant wait for them to be able to be able to record noise.

We could have movies in minutes.
