Take it for whats its worth, but THIS is the future

[MDCmotorsports]

Ok something Ive been working on this for a long time BUT...

A.) I am not a harvard or MIT student, nor will ever have the chance to be.
B.) HOPEFULLY I AM THE FIRST TO THINK OF THIS, and the timestamp will prove it in the future.
C.) The idea is sitting here waisting away in my brain and that doesn't do any body any good.


So here goes...

~*SO YOU WANNA WATCH WHAT YOU DREAM?*~

Tivo for your head? Could be in the future!

Here's how it works.

When you are alert and awake, you are hooked up to a computer via brain wave sensors, that measure each reaction when shown an object, word, color etc.

For example, if shown the color red, your brain behaves "this" way, and the computer records that reaction.

You would repeat the process for words, objects, things, & people you recognize etc.

The more complex you make the orientation of brain waves to computer, the more elaborate the dream replay will be. You would be creating a "dream library."

After you feed all this info into the computer, you go to sleep...

The computer would read your brain waves when asleep, and put together a CGI recreation of your dream(s) that you had the night before.

Wake up in the morning, and watch every thing you were dreaming about.

Im sure it would be ALOT more complicated than that, but the starting base idea is there.

What do you guys think?

that would be amazing! i have some bad ass dreams when i pass out drunk. problem being lots of details are fuzzy when i wake up. if i could watch the shit in the morning it would rule! make em, get rich, buy me a car... please... :evildeal:

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

That would be cool if you could get it to work

Ok i dont want to shoot this down, but, bionuralogy is who your going to have to talk to about this, another thing is right now they are working on more of saving ur complete brain, memory, speech, motor function, ect onto a hard drive. so that when u die or you boby gets to old u throw it out and get a new one. what ur thinking of right now is more of a fun thing that they would do, and not a breakthrew idea. Nuralogy isnt easy, right now they are still trying to figure out how the hell the brain relays light and color to the eyes, so that they can create camera eyes, right now they just made 8bit color eyes for a blind guy, he can see its quite amazing. they have also managed to make arms that are controlled by the brains motor functions.
not a bad idea, but lets get down the easy stuff first, LOL.

Coding for brain waves and separating regular body function from imagery created in the mind sounds difficult. Find a neural impulse translator. Pfft.. and some people used to think that digital to analog conversion was tough!

wasnt that also in also in a clone movie with arnold

 

[robbo185]

heck if this idea ever comes around again in the future ill invest!! we can make hundreds...heck thousands of dollars...but seriously i would invest

yea thats where they got the idea from, but its really happening, crazy huh/

hehehe little more than that, this is the brain we are talking about, not the next soft toilet paper company.

 

[lanternman]

I'm not sure I want to know everything I dream about, I might find out what a bad person I am. But seriously, the idea sounds sweet, and if it worked it could answer the age old question of whether our dreams hold snipits of the future. (creepy twilight zone sounds)

 

[SupraMario]

^^ i would think they hold pieces of the past day, and not the future.

i agree kinda, REM sleep is the brains way of running defrag. IMO i remember my ma telling me she once did a study in college on dreams,

put a pencil and paper next to your bed so when you wake up, you can immedially try and write down what you remember, over several weeks you will start to remember your dreams, i never tried it because i prefer not to remember as some of it can be pretty messed up..:nuts:


i could handle being uploaded into a new shell though :biglaugh:

I think it's a good idea, but honestly, how would you collect any "data"? Thinks like eeg's only tell you what area is "working" they won't tell you what's going on in enough detail to pull something like an .mpeg out of. Even if it WAS detailed enough, who's to say that where you "store" you're recollection of Supra induced bliss is in the same part of my brain, if you get to the same part, same general area... same "cell"?

I wouldn't count on it happening. Most dreams are just caused by your brain "jacking off" and you just get what comes out... lol, Yeah, I've been watching South Park. I don't think they even know how the brain works, for the most part, I wouldn't count on something like this in our lifetimes... But hell, if it does keep the timestamps and be like "boo yah mkIISupraMan18... PWNED".

Not to mention, would you REALLY want information from your brain to be even remotely available to anyone who could want it for whatever reason? I'm sure with something like that there could always be a possibility for a "reformatting" to take place... My book should be out next month sometime. :icon_bigg

 

[Bullz_EyE]

Nurology, you forgot the "e", but you're on the right track. Do you know how long it would take to decode the neural pathways and neural transmitters. If it were possible, we wouldn't only be able to view our dreams (COOL!!) but we would be gods.

 

[Joel W.]

i would not rule any thing out as many of the stuff thats here today was said to be "impossable" 50, 20, even 10 years ago...

its kinda cool watching science fiction become science fact...

 

[Bullz_EyE]

I doubt you will see this kind of technology in our lifetime.

 

[Joel W.]

they have already found the gene that triggers aging in cells, and have iscolated it in DNA and removed it, In test mice, and the mice lived longer than normal, getting older can be stopped and maybe even reversed and life expectancy could be raised up to 200-600 yrs.. so well see.

odds are youll get hit by a truck or something before you hit 600 of course..

LOL :yelrotflm :rofl: I like that, haha

 

[AGlobalThreat]

How would that work... your subconscious is always active. When you sleep, your conscious isn't active. I forget the other parts of the brain. I don't think this would work though, because your subconscious is always working and thinking even when you have no idea. Do you think about breathing? Of course not, your subconscious does it for you, as well as lots of other things. Personally I don't think that idea would work, and I would not like to see my dreams :rofl:, once is enough for me

 

[Stretch]

If you could read your dreams, and alter them via some sort of codexing of your brain, then we're basically just talking about a "matrix-like" society. Real life would be shitty, possibly in a machine-controlled world with ruined cities etc... and we'd "jack-in" to the matrix (our dreams controlled via one central hub) were we could be and do anything we wanted.
