Scientists Discover What You Are Thinking

neurospace writes "Caltech scientists have successfully decoded movement plans from the brains of awake humans. This work has direct application to the development of a neural prosthesis, a brain-machine interface that will give paralyzed people the ability to move and communicate simply using their thoughts. The lead scientist on this project will be interviewed on Sunday, March 20, on the SETI Institute's weekly radio show, 'Are We Alone?'"

    Seriously though, Bush may have his bad points, but Kerry would have ruined this country.

    Gee, a President who would've thought about his actions instead of issuing policies based on kneejerk responses & crony advice, and a President who had actually commanded military groups in _real_ combat, instead of the current chickenhawk-laden administration. Yeah, sounds like someone who would've ruined the country.

    Everyone is so quick to bash Bush's record without thinking about what Kerry would have done in each situation.

    That's because most Kerry supporters _know_ that he would've made more intelligent decisions in just about every situation. Those decisions might not have been aggressive enough to make Kerry one of the "great" presidents, but compared to what Dubya's decisions have done to the infrastructure & rep of the U.S., _any_ competent non-"neo-con" would have brought us to a better world right now.
