Scientists Uncover Method To Literally 'Read' Human Thoughts

"Researchers from the University of California have developed a remarkable method that has allowed them to discern what a patient is thinking through de-constructing their associative brain waves. While still incredibly early in its potential implications, such a method of interpreting someone's thoughts without the need for speech to be crafted could be hugely significant for loved one's and medical staff to communicate with those who are unable to speak; such as comatose patients, or those suffering with 'locked-in syndrome'."

Pretty interesting. I know I would want something like this if I was incapacitated.
I spent some time reading to a bed ridden bloke that had almost drowned and could not move or speak. He could only communicate by moving his eyes.
