Scientists in San Diego are developing a new brain interface for use with mobile phone devices.

The brand new system could enable users to dial a number simply by thinking it, participants in a trial run revealed that it was almost 100% accurate, although some individuals achieve higher accuracy than others. How practical such a device would be remains to be seen but it is being hailed as particularly necessary to individuals with disabilities.

Have you ever got up to do something, entered a room and forgotten exactly what it was you were doing?

According to scientists, this is not just popular but a direct result of something referred to as “location-updating effect”. Whenever you walk in to a new room your brain will basically refresh in to take in your new location and surroundings, making you more prone to forget what it was you were doing when you came in.

Called “location-updating effect,” the phenomenon also causes people transitioning between rooms (even virtual ones) to take additional time while attempting to recall items from memory.

Scientists are actually capable to scan images from your brain of individuals who are lucid dreaming.

 ”The participants have to fall asleep inside a scanning device, achieve REM sleep and enter a stable lucid dream state,” said Michael Czisch. The technological innovation is only in its beginnings nonetheless eventually it may be possible to record entire dreams and observe them back later.

The majority of us remember only a minor tiny fraction of our dreams - but that may in the near future change. Researchers predict that people could soon use computers to ‘see’ what we have dreamed about - and potentially even record dreams to watch the following day.
