I guess it'd be a good and bad thing dependant on the person, and an excellent tool in prosecution cases. If that does become possible, I think the next step would be viewing images of a persons dreams transmitted to a monitor. I saw it on some Sci-Fi film or TV show years ago.

There's probably been more than one Sci-fi film or TV show that has shown a person's dream being taped, but, the first time I can remember seeing this, is--I believe--"Futureworld." And ever since, I've always been intrigued by the idea of this some day happening, as I've had a number of dreams I've like to have been taped for later viewing.

Not a brain scan, but another Sci-fi idea is seeing what a dead person last saw by taking a picture of the retina of the eye, which supposedly retained an image of what the person last saw. Again, I imagine this idea has come up in several Sci-fi films and TV shows, but I first remember seeing it is in "The Invisible Ray" w/ Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi.

How could they tell if they were viewing something you actually saw, or just one of your daydreams?

My brain would be scary viewing for anybody, and that's without porn.

"Huh, I wonder what this guy did on Saturday nights."
"Must've been a real swinger.  Probably brought home hotties every night."
"Ah, and here, and... OH DEAR GOD WHAT'S HE DOING WITH THAT PEANUT BUTTER?"
"ACK!  Turn it off!  Turn it off!"
