Science fiction? Well, maybe today, but maybe not in a decade or two, if cognitive science can keep up its current rate of advance, with (admittedly crude and imprecise) animal brain simulations on computer.
That, then, of course, lead to questions of ethics and related issues. What if a brain simulation could be used to vastly improve current, crude, brain scanners? And, could do so without a person's cranium being stuck inside an MRI? In other words, what if an anti-theft portal at a business's front door could be ramped up, massively, via RFID-type tech, to scan your mind for commercial reasons?
