Reading minds | Marvin Chun | TEDxYale

Can psychologists read dreams? Watch Marvin Chun's fascinating talk to find out more.
Marvin Chun is a cognitive neuroscientist with research interests in visual attention, memory. and perception. His lab employs neuroimaging (fMRI) and behavioral techniques to study how people perceive and remember visual information. His work in visual attention explores why people can consciously perceive only a small portion of all of the sensory information coming through the eyes. The lab’s research on memory investigates the neuronal correlates of memory encoding and retrieval. What are the fMRI signatures of memory traces in the brain? Much of his work on the interactions between memory and attention has centered on the role of context and associative learning. Finally, our work in perception examines the fundamental question of how the brain discriminates objects to make quick, efficient perceptual decisions.

Now they don't even need to attach you to a machine. They can do it wirelessly. Remote neural monitoring

What to do if they read your mind without your permission?

[@intergalactic8560]

Its happening to me. I contacted the U.N. hopefully they will help to stop this

@@moshet842 I understand your reaction to this individual's comments and while I am no psychiatrist myself, I don't think they are delusional. Actually to the contrary, it's probably in their and society's best interests to be forthright in such declarations. It's incredibly difficult to imagine something so seemingly outlandish but its dismissively arbitrary to reject it due to a lack of personal experience. I see the logic in that conclusion but it's downright arrogant and foolish (in my opinion) to attribute something we simply do not understand to delusion. Unfortunately that's not too uncommon amongst most onlookers. I was just as certain in my ignorance to have held similar sentiments at one point; I mean to draw your attention but not for the sake of provocation, but as a chance to suggest some effort to critical thinking. This person could be a council member for the UN for all we know which could amount to simply calling in to work that day. I wouldn't consider calling in to be a drastic measure but neither could anyone just as quickly ascertain that Im not a UN councilman.AnywaYs... A sloppy summation: There's much to what we perceive of society that bears little resemblance to what it actually is in function. The US is not the leader of the free world, but rather the testing grounds for the retraction and revocation of freedom in a presumably global endgame. Essentially the constitution no longer applies. We already know every US citizen has at one point been viewed as a potential terrorist. We were even told it was a matter of national security, a breach of the constitution for what amounts to molestation of our right to privacy. This is America though so it's okay for us right...wait. isn't that right? We give up our rights for the sake of securing the very place that is meant to preserve them. What we didn't realize is that we basically locked ourselves out in that process. Bottom line, our enemies are international and domestic but they are not our "rival" nations. Populations worldwide are amongst our comrades and we all share a common enemy -the collective oppression of governments who claim to value their citizens when they have sufficiently demonstrated countless examples of otherwise. Look before you leap, Walk before you run And know your enemy

Quantum data allows for more accurate shaping than cubes, to better visualize and more accurately quantify.... better results

Mm when i meet a psychologist my first thought is how exciting and a bunch of questions about the brain come to my mind and curiosity never something like what he said

[@ivanho4597]

Nothing beats actually being able to read someone's mind....oh yes it exists...the only reason very few people experience it is they can't stop the chatter in their head to experience reality. ...

That's true. Psychopatics can use it & then your life turns into nightmare.
