INTRODUCTION

Mind-reading devices could be used to help


people with disabilities communicate more
effectively. They could also be used to develop
new forms of communication, such as telepathy.
Education: Mind-reading devices could be used
to help students learn more effectively. AI-
driven mind-reading technology opens up a
world of possibilities, particularly in the realm
of healthcare.
MIND READING SYSTEM’S
Theory of mind (Tom) is defined as the ability to understand and take into account another individual's mental state or of
Interpreting and understanding the mind of another
“mind-reading”

person is a fundamental social skill. Mentalizing or mind reading


stands for the capacity to judge and capture a person's intentions,
beliefs and personality traits on the basis of his or her behavior.
Mind-reading computer system presents an information about
your mental state as easily as the keyboard and mouse presents
the text and commands. Imagine a future where we are
surrounded with cars, mobile phones, and online services that can
read our minds and react to our moods.
DEVELOPMENT AND MILESTONE
• MIND READING COMPUTERS WERE CREATED IN THE COMPUTER
LABORATORY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. THE GROUP OF
ENGINEERS ALONG WITH PSYCHIATRISTS DEFINED THESE MIND-
READING MACHINES AS PCS AS MACHINES THAT ACTUALIZE
COMPUTATIONAL MODELS OF MIND-READING TO INDUCE MENTAL
CONDITIONS OF INDIVIDUALS FROM THEIR FACIAL SIGNS.
• RESEARCHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY SYDNEY'S
GRAPHENEX-UTS HUMAN-CENTRIC ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CENTRE
HAVE ACHIEVED A GROUNDBREAKING MILESTONE BY DEVELOPING A
PORTABLE, NON-INVASIVE SYSTEM CAPABLE OF TRANSLATING SILENT
THOUGHTS INTO TEXT. THIS INNOVATION HAS SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL TO
FACILITATE COMMUNICATION FOR INDIVIDUALS UNABLE TO SPEAK DUE
TO CONDITIONS
TYPES OF MIND READING TECHNOLOGIES
# EEG SYSTEM
# NEURAL IMPLANTING
# FRMI SYSTEM

# EEG SYSTEM
• An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures electrical
activity in the brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to the
scalp. Brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all
the time, even during asleep. This activity shows up as wavy lines on
an EEG recording.
• NEURAL IMPLANTING
• USING BRAIN IMPLANTS, RESEARCHERS HAVE PICKED
UP ELECTRICAL BLIPS IN THE BRAIN LINKED TO
CERTAIN WORDS OR LETTERS. THIS HAS ALLOWED
BRAIN IMPLANTS TO
TRANSFORM THOUGHTS INTO TEXT OR SPEECH ON A
COMPUTER
• FRMI SYSYTEM
• FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (FMRI)
MEASURES THE SMALL CHANGES IN BLOOD FLOW
THAT OCCUR WITH BRAIN ACTIVITY. IT MAY BE
USED TO EXAMINE WHICH PARTS OF THE BRAIN ARE
HANDLING CRITICAL FUNCTIONS, EVALUATE THE
EFFECTS OF STROKE OR OTHER DISEASE, OR TO GUIDE
BRAIN TREATMENT.
HOW MIND READING WORK’
• The primary purpose of the brain is to acquire, coordinate, and disseminate
information about the body and its environment. To perform this task, neurons have
evolved sophisticated means of generating electrical and chemical signals. This unit
describes these signals and how they are produced. Neurotransmitters are chemicals
that brain cells use to talk to each other. Some neurotransmitters make cells more
active (called excitatory) while others block or dampen a cell's activity.

• Electroencephalography, or eeg, is probably the second-best known technique for


recording neural activity. Whereas fmri records blood flow, a proxy of neuron
activation, eeg directly records the brain's electrical activity via electrodes placed on
the scalp of the subject. Many bmis detect neural signals using external electrodes or
optical sensors that adhere to the skull and other parts of the human body. According
to these noninvasive devices, which only read and control the mind at a rudimentary
level, bmis can manipulate thoughts with transcranial electromagnetic pulses.
IN THE WORLD OF MEDICINE
• neurological disorders are the most challenging to diagnose, manage and
monitor due to the complex nervous system. Diagnosis of neurological diseases
and their treatments demand high precision, dedication and experience.
• Currently, neurological diseases are diagnosed by using various medical
techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG), computerised tomography
(CT scan or CAT scan), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan),
electromyography (EMG), positron emission tomography (PET scan or PET
imagery), arteriogram (also called an angiogram) and single-photon emission-
computed tomography (SPECT). These diagnostic tests help physicians confirm
or rule out the presence of a neurological disorder or other medical conditions.
• Wearable sensors can continuously track physiological parameters, such as heart
rate (HR) and breathing patterns, which can provide valuable insight into an
individual's mental health. For instance, changes in HR may indicate the

CHALLENGES >>
• PRIVACY
• Mind-reading technology has the ability to enter into our most private
thoughts, eroding the barriers between the public and private realms. If this
technology falls into the wrong hands or is exploited, it might lead to major
abuses of personal privacy.
• HEALTH
• Mind reading is assuming what someone else is thinking without having
much to go on. If we rely too much on mind reading, we can make mistakes
about what others think of us, which can really wreak havoc with our mood.
Mind reading often leads to depression and anxiety, especially social anxiety.
• NOTE:In the real world, having a clear sense of what others think and feel
helps us avoid conflict and miscommunication and strengthen personal
relationships.

MIND READING SYSTEM
.we’ve seen neurotechnologies move from research labs to real-world use.
Schools have used some devices to monitor the brain activity of children to
tell when they are paying attention. Police forces are using others to work out
whether someone is guilty of a crime. And employers use them to keep
workers awake and productive. These technologies hold the remarkable
promise of giving us all-new insight into our own minds.

Ray Kurzweil : director of engineering at Google, has long predicted


that people will be able to "upload" their entire brains to computers and
become "digitally immortal" by 2045 .
• INDUSTRIAL ADOPTION

• Think about stopping, starting, or skipping songs with your


mind without ever touching your phone. Interacting with smart
devices with just our thoughts through a headphone-like device is
impressive enough on its own.

• MindX: believes the next frontier in computing is a direct link


from the brain to the digital world. They’re creating this link by
“combining neurotechnology, augmented reality and artificial
intelligence
NEUROSITY
• Neurosity’s goal is to help developers get focused faster and stay
focused longer. Notion (Neurosity’s thought-powered computer) has
eight sensors as part of an EEG headset. Neurosity launched dev kits
in 2019. The Neurosity developer community is one of the signs
that brain-computer interfaces have arrived.

• - NEURO KIT 2019


• KERNEL

• Kernel is a neurotechnology company based in Los Angeles,


California. Their aim is to create “a brain interface that develops
real- world applications of high-resolution brain activity.

• Kernal’s founder and CEO, Bryan Johnson, believes in a world


where people are empowered by technology, not limited by it.
•Neuralink is a company owned by none other than Elon
Musk. The man who made electric cars cool (Tesla) and sends
astronauts to space is his own spacecraft (SpaceX) also wants
to connect humans to machines.
• Neuralink threads are connected to a 4mm chip called the N1. The
chips are “placed close to important parts of the brain and are able
to detect messages as they are relayed between neurons,
recording each impulse and stimulating their own.” The chip
connects to a wireless device worn over the ear which is Bluetooth
enabled. @elonmusk
PARADROMICS
• Paradromics developed brain-computer interface technology
to help those disconnected from the world by mental illness,
paralysis, or other types of brain disorders. Paradromics
believes they can meet medical challenges with technical
solutions.
CONCLUSION
• Mind reading systems are enhancing accessibility for
individuals with disabilities, enabling them to communicate,
control devices, and participate in various activities. This show
how mind reading technology can unlock new dimensions of
creativity and innovation by providing a direct interface
between the human mind and digital tools.
• It highlights the potential for mind reading technology to bring
about societal changes, influencing how we perceive privacy,
communication, and individual autonomy.
