ABSTRACT
A computer can, in a very real sense, read human minds. Although the dot's gyrations are directed by a computer, the machine was only carrying out the orders of the test subject. The computer mind-reading technique is far more than a laboratory stunt. Though computers can solve extra ordinarily complex problems with incredible speed, the information they digest is fed to them by such slow, cumbersome tools as type writer keyboards or punched tapes. The key to his scheme: the electro encephalograph, a device used by medical researchers to pick up electrical currents from various parts of the brain. If we could learn to identify brain waves generated by specific thoughts or commands, we might be able to teach the same skill to a computer. The machine might even be able to react to those commands by, say, moving a dot across a TV screen. So far the S.R.I, computer has been taught to recognize seven different commands up, down, left, right, slow, fast and stop.
Mind reading is a way to detect or infer the other’s mental states. The simplest way for mind reading can be done by simply seeing and understanding the facial expression. For example a smile can give us an expression of happiness. But now it may be possible that not only one human can understand other’s mental states but also a computer might understand the mental states of a person. This paper describes the ways how a computer might infer the mental state of a person and thus becomes the mind reading computer. This paper emphasize on the ways by which a computer might infer the mental state, one method is by facial expression analysis (FEA) and the second one by using a futuristic headband.
