1. Introduction
Problems with existing computer. a. Receive input from slow tools. b. Require explicit input. c. Mind-Blind Theory of Mind-Reading
The ability to attribute mental states to others from their behaviour and to use that knowledge to guide our own actions and predict those of others .
. Need of Mind-Reading machine
Machines that represent computational model of mindreading to infer mental states of people from their facial signals. Developed by a team of cambridge university, taking inspiration from Psychology, Computer vision and Machine Learning. Prior knowledge of how particular mental states are expressed through face in real time is required. Software from Nevenvision identifies 24 feature points on the face and tracks them in real time. Movement, Shape and Colour are then analyzed to identify gestures like smile etc.

Wearing the fNIRS sensor , experimental subjects were asked to count the no. of squares on a rotating onscreen cube . The subjects were then asked to rate the difficulty of the tasks, 83% time it is matched with fNIRS system. NASA has developed a computer program which can read silently spoken words by analyzing nerve signals in our mouth and throats . Just the slightest movement in the Voice box and tounge is enough to work. Initially scientists trained the software program to recognize six words-including go , left , right and 10 numbers. Participants hooked up to the sensors silently , said the words to themselves and the software correctly picked up the signals 92% of the time.

The result of this is that you can move the wheelchair solely with the power of your mind. Dumb people can talk.
The sensors have been tested to do simple web searches and may help space-walking astronauts in future. The system can send commands to rovers on other planets.

Help injured astronauts to control machines, or aid disabled people. For screening suspected terrorists as well as for predicting future dangerousness more generally. We are closer than ever to the crimeprediction technology . The pilot of a high-speed plane or spacecraft, for instance, can order some vital flight information by thought only . No need to search the right dials or switches on crowed instrument panel.

We aren't particularly good at rehabilitation Our society is not ready The initial tests may have been successful because of the short lengths of the words .
The initial success doesn't mean it will scale up. It is necessary to repeat the tests on many different people and check whether sensor is working on everyone or not.
Small vocabulary, Isolated word recognition is a quite different problem than conversational speech, not just in scale but in kind also.

7. Conclusion
If 3 year project of Tufts university becomes successful, then we can allow computers to respond to the brain activity of the user. These computers can perform telephaty , by translating brain activity into words. If it will be known that which air traffic controllers were overloaded , the next incoming plane would be assigned to another controller. Hence if we get 100% accuracy these computers may find various applications in many fields, specially in electronics where we have very less time to react.
