между прочим, японские ученые приоткрыли двери восприятия — прочитали в мозгу человека зрительные образы:
A team of Japanese scientists at ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories, led by researcher Yukiyasu Kamitani, have successfully processed and displayed reconstructed images directly from the ever-hackable human brain. In the experiments, the team first showed participants 400 different still images in order to suss out their visual thought patterns. They then showed them the letters that make up the word “neuron,” and successfully reconstructed them via brain activity onto a screen. <...> Dr. F. Krueger at ATR says that they think the tech could someday be used to hack into people’s dreams.

Utopic and dystopic scenarios: leasing parts of your brain space to a big corporation for a side income; building a problem solving computer based on low level brain growing farm; big brother supervising thoughts to crack down on dissidents; drawing tools; advanced lie detectors; brain exporting and importing of movies, smells, feelings…
вот уж, конечно:
Mental discipline will ever more become a survival tool for the future.
