Dreams On Screen

Scientists say they will come up with new technology which shows what is on our minds when we're asleep.

Is that a good idea? I eat a lot of cheese, so some of the dreams I have are pretty freaky. They'd need to get a 18 certificate for that machine.

The Japanese research team claims its groundbreaking study could eventually display dreams on a computer screen.

Well, with the amount of time I have to spend on a computer at work I probably dream about computer screens, so at least we know it would fit.

A team at ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories said they have already succeeded in displaying images directly from the human brain. And even though they have only managed to reproduce simple images, they reckon they will eventually be used to figure out dreams and other secrets inside people's minds.

Let's hope we never have to get sent to a hospital to take that test, because most of the readings would say the same thing... "My god, that nurse is hot."
