Question

Reading Your Mind It can be instruct like if we develop certain minds at a distance openness that wou could read others' thor be instructive, as well as entertaining to imagine what the future might be develop certain technologies. What if a technology could read people's distance? Would this worsen antagonism between nations or force on that would reduce conflicts? Imagine, if you will, a world in which you others' thoughts at will... and they could just as easily read yours. scientists are trying to relate specific brain functions to specific states of con ess. We know that certain regions of the brain are associated with certain of mental activities. When brains are damaged in a particular area, specific cities can be lost. Is it possible to move beyond this general association to a are precise account? Could it be possible to identify specific brain functions that produce specific thoughts? For all the spies who might be interested in this science, could it be possible to use imaging techniques to read these thoughts? And, best of all, could this reading be done at a distance, for example, from a car parked outside the embassy of a hostile country? In 1998, the chairman of the French National Bioethics Commission raised a concern about the development of such technology. Jean-Pierre Changeux, who is a neuroscientist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, said that such technology might become commonplace and could open the doors to mas sive invasions of privacy, posing "a serious risk to society." Study Questions to what extent do you believe it is important to conduct research into the association of pucular brain functions with particular thoughts? What might the applications of such a Science be? u might the consequences be for the legal system if an individuals thoughts could be lected through examination of neurological function now desirable would it be to live in a society in which an individual's thoughts could be tly and not merely just measured against his or her behavior Mapted from Jonathan D More H.

Answer 1

1. The research into particular brain functions with particular thoughts can be done to read the other individuals thoughts or ideas which are useful for the society or to prevent any disasters or harm by reading others ideas or thoughts. I believe that reading individuals thoughts to the extent that is useful to help others and society is permitted but reading thoughts which are one's confidential and using their ideas and thoughts is not to be employed. The application of such neuroscience to know ideas and thoughts of other persons at distance is known as telepathy.

2. If the thoughts of individual's are detected through neurological function there will be a drastic change in legal system. People usually go for court or apply for legal system for any judgement , usually the case is studied thoroughly for days to years and through proper investigation and evidences the judgement is made. But detecting persons thoughts by neurological function test can change the legal system. The person's then won't go to courts for judgement just they visit the neuro scientists to detect the thoughts of suspect and victim and solve the problems with in less time.

3. Living in a society where individual's thoughts are read directly can be desirable in some cases in which knowing others thoughts before so that people communicate knowing others interests and prevent conflicts. But in some cases it is not desirable it can opens the privacy of people, troubles people's peace and causes risk to society.
