 INTRODUCTION
 People express their mental states, including
emotions ,thoughts and desires ,all the time
through facial expressions ,vocal nuances
and gestures .this is true when they are
interesting with machines.
 Mind reading machine is co-ordinate of human
psychology and computer techniques.
 Some equipment are used to gather data &
then analyzed.to use those data for further
prediction of mind is know as theory of mind
reading
 WHAT IS MIND READING?

 Mind reading is a way to detect or

infer others mental states.
 Mind reading machines are
developed based on our psychology
,computer vision and machine
learning.
 Different facial expressions that read by computer
 The key to this scheme is the
electroencephalograph ,a devices is used by
medical researchers to pickup 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 a same skill to the computer.
 WHY MIND READING?

 The mind reading computer system

presents information about mental state as
easily as a keyboard and mouse present
text and commands.
 By using this reading current projects in
cambridge.
 We are also done online shoppings with
mind readings.
 The mind reading computer system may
also be used to monitor and suggest
improvements in human –human
interaction.
 the affective computing group at the
media laboratory is developing an
emotional social intelligence prosthesis
that explores new technologies to
augment and improve peoples social
interactions and communication skills.
 To implement this system in cars,
to detect drivers mental states
such as drowsiness,distraction and
anger.
HOW DOES IT WORKS?

 The mind reading actually involves

measuring the volume and oxygen level of
the blood around the subjects brain using
technology called functional near-infrared
spectroscopy(FNIRS).
 The users wears a futuristic head band .
 FUTURISTIC HEAD BAND
 This head band sends light in that spectrum into
the tissues of the head where it is absorbed by
active ,blood filled tissues.
PROCESS:-
BENEFITS

 Can read minds

 Help handicapped people
 Help coma patients
 Help people who cant speak
 can be combined with consoles & used for
mind gaming,robotics & stuff.
 Help paralytic patients.
USES
 Thesystem could send commands to
rovers on other planets, help injured
astronauts control machines ,or aid
disabled people.
DRAWBACKS

 Breach in privacy
 If developed or used by sinners, can be
highly dangerous
 No way to neutralized this technology
PROBLEMS:
 Nor is society deal with the ethical and
practical problems posed by a system that
classifies and categories people based on
oxygen flow , genetics and environmental
factors that are correlated as with future
criminality.
APPLICATIONS
 Control robots by brain power
 Mind reading technology speeds ahead
 Emergency
 Mind reading computers could ‘save your life’.
CONCLUSION
 Users wear a futuristic looking head bands
to shine light on their fore heads and then
performs a series of increasingly difficult
tasks while the device reads what parts of
the brain are absorbing the light .the info
is then transferred to the computer and
from where the computer can adjust its
interface and functions to each
individual.
