Wow, according to this article, scientists have been able to reconstruct images by monitoring brain activity (or rather, cerebral blood flow).

Quote:Then, when the test subjects were shown a completely new set of images, such as the letters N-E-U-R-O-N, the system was able to reconstruct and display what the test subjects were viewing based solely on their brain activity.Imagine if you could do away with a DSLR, and just plug a "camera" directly into your brain - capturing whatever you see...
For now, the system is only able to reproduce simple black-and-white images. But Dr. Kang Cheng, a researcher from the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, suggests that improving the measurement accuracy will make it possible to reproduce images in color.
