Brain Power

Please take the time to watch this video from CBS 60 Minutes. The possibilities of this technology that allows us to transmit our thoughts to a computer are just beginning to unfold. The example in the video got me thinking - imagine if we could find out what is happening in the mind of a person with Alzheimer's or other diseases that take away the ability of a patient to communicate. Now combine this with the Age of Consciousness that we are stepping into and imagine devices that can not only read our mind but also our heart. Yes, a bit much of tech for many of us and like anything there is a fine line and balance in the "how" it's done. More importantly I ask myself - the "why" we do what we do and so far this work seems to have a solid why as I see it - to enable people to communicate freely.
