I read your dreams.

I read your dreams. Four days, teams such as the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International has announced the electronic version of Science magazine Scientific American has developed a technique that can measure the brain activity of sleeping people, know part of the contents of the dream .

Can also be seen as to know the contents of hallucinations and imagination of others, that may help, such as mental illness diagnosis.

The team experimented with three Japanese men in their 20s and 30s. I had to take a nap while measured (fMRI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging device that can read a portion of the brain that are active. Just cause into sleep, I repeat 300 times before and after the experiment to hear what one person had any dream, record the pattern of brain activity. It is questionable whether all people to be able to abstract patterns with only three results. It is also very subject. The only dream I also feel that you do not want others to read.


あなたの夢を読み取ります。眠っている人の脳の活動を測り、夢の内容の一部を知ることができる手法を開発したと国際電気通信基礎技術研究所などのチームが４日、米科学誌サイエンス電子版に発表した。
　他人の幻覚や想像の内容を知ることもできるとみられ、精神疾患診断などに役立つ可能性があるという。
　チームは、２０～３０代の日本人男性３人で実験。脳の活動している部位を読み取れる機能的磁気共鳴画像装置（ｆＭＲＩ）で計測したまま昼寝してもらった。眠りに入ってすぐ起こし、どんな夢を見ていたかを聞き取る実験を１人３００回前後繰り返し、脳の活動パターンを記録。3人の結果だけでパターンをすべての人に摘要できるのか疑問ですね。被験者もたいへんですね。夢だけは他人に読み取られたくない気もします。
