This is very interesting. The fact that brains process information nearly the same way for everyone lends creduality to the possibility of building a universal language translator. On a more speculative note, it also provides a possible explanation for the existence and operation of telepathy in humans, especially identical twins.

Military and Fed Gov't will take this technology and 1st muse it on detainees at Guantanamo Bay and after success it will then be used ion the general public to round up anyone that they deem is a threat without ever defining what they view a threat is.

The idea that amazed me--strap on the headset to confirm this--was that 60 Minutes producers have brains. I think we can figure out why the rest of them weren't testable subjects....

This is scary. The potential is mind boggling.
