                                        MIND READING
Have you ever imagine what will you do if you could reed someone’s mind? It will be very interesting to ask someone what they think about you and what they actually say… Mind reading is assuming special knowledge of the intentions or thoughts of others. Mind reading is considered a myth, but with the advance in technology scientists have actually managed to look inside people's brain and understanding what they are thinking about. It is common to think that mind reading is only for people with super natural abilities, but in reality scientists have been working on exploring the brain and actually analyzing our thoughts. Now through functional MRI it makes it possible for scientists to do thought identification (mind reading). When people are put to the test they are made to think about an object for example hammer, then what the MRI does is detect the parts of the brain that you brain uses to detect hammer, and n people it is mostly the same parts. Scientists can also tell what people’s intentions are. For example they might show you two numbers and you think either of subtracting or adding, the MRI will detect what were your intentions in that specific situation. Other MRIs can tell if you are lying or not, others tell whether you had seen a place before or not. These technological advances will soon be used in criminal investigations to know if a person is lying about what they are ask to testify.  This will be very good because problems will be solve quickly and the people who are innocent will not pay for others bad actions…
