A computer program that can read your mind has been developed by British scientists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In tests, it was able to access and interpret memories by scanning the brain patterns of volunteers.<\/p>\n

The computer had a high success rate in telling which of three short films the subjects were thinking about.<\/p>\n

Eleanor Maguire, of the University College London research team, said the work meant we were \u2018approaching the realm of mind-reading\u2019.<\/p>\n

The seven-second film clips showed women going about daily tasks, such as posting a letter. Then, while their brains were scanned, the volunteers were asked to think about what they had seen.<\/p>\n

The brain lit up differently for each film, allowing the researchers to create a program that homed in on the patterns. The volunteers were then asked to think about the clips again and the \u2018psychic\u2019 computer worked out which one they had in mind.<\/p>\n
