Scientists in Japan Use MRI Scanner to Read Dreams

Japan is heaven for every technological experiment. Technological developments in Japan are a never-ending story. You will be surprised by every gadget and technology that they ever created. One of the astonishing examples of technology ever created in Japan is using a brain scanner — the modified MRI machine, to read dreams.

Just imagine, people dream in their sleep, and the dreams rarely or hardly ever come back to the memory when waking up. That dream, now, is possible to be read by the newly invented MRI-based technology. There’s a chance to replay the dreams just like watching a video on a device. This idea is insanely unthinkable — just like a dream come true. So how are these scientists in Japan able to do this?

Read Dreams using Modified MRI Machine
Scientists in Japan were able to turn an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) machine into a device capable of reading dreams. The MRI as we know it is used in medicine to perform a thorough examination of the body’s organs using magnetic technology and radio waves.

MRI in medicine is used to examine diseases such as cancer, stroke, damage to blood vessels in the brain, tumors, spinal cord injuries, disorders of the eye or inner ear, multiple sclerosis, and to detect head injuries.

The modified MRI machine can not only be used to read dreams but also to reconstruct dreams. When you wake up, you can replay the dream on the screen. In that case, no more forgetting the dream. 😲

What a marvelous technology for creating psychotic killing machines for the military and politicians. Your dreams could them be used to paint you as a terrorist , drug dealer or worse.
Have they thought through the ethics and morals of this technology?
Our dreams are naturally hidden from us for a reason. Let us investigate what that reason is and why.

Not sure if dreams are naturally hidden. If something is 'hidden', it sounds to me that someone is intentionally hiding it. A dream occurs 'naturally' in someone's head, and it cannot be seen by anyone else except that person, until now. It is not the case that the dream is intentionally hidden. To me, a dream being 'naturally hidden' sounds oxymoronic.
Incidentally, scientists are expected to be honest and take moral, ethical integrity into consideration, reflected in their scientific research.

@Ryo1 Scientists , honest, moral, ethical and with integrity.Which novel are they featured in?
Science has always worked for whomever paid for it.
From my own observations in my area of endeavour, there is little honesty in medical research and medicine.
It really is as the adage says, "ye who pays the piper calls the tune"
The only deterrent to weapons of mass destruction including virii and chemicals is not to develop them in the first place. There are your ethics

@Kurtn You talk as if all scientists fit in your description. Lol
