Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night. Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and natura...

We can't use such a device against a person's will, and if they where to be used (except for experiments), rather, it is designed for people who for some reason can't talk or questioning and don't want to say the right information. I don't see other applications of this "great device".
Of course, I don't want someone reading my thoughts. Why would he, he has his own.
2. Hopefully it will be illegal or impossible to use those new methods without the other person's consent. I can only hope that the use of those devices will be restricted to the necessary minimum.
3. That is my biggest concern. Our mind and out thoughts are the last bastion of our privacy. If we lose it, the privacy we know of will cease to exist.
2. As it was stated video the most obvious use cases of such solutions would be lie detectors, forensic applications and marketing.
3. It can threaten our privacy when such solutions will be misused or used without actually informing people about scope and real purposes of such a procedure.
I think that everything is impossible in our world. I don't care a lot about it, but i believe in this "magic". What's about creating program, i don't think we will have it in closest future. We can use brain scanners that you mentioned above as lie detectors, for anti-terrorism and etc. Of course, i would be dangerous for our privacy, would you mind if i go to your head and got all the information about you, your family, your secrets, money and etc?
I think that creating such a program is a matter of time, thanks to him we will certainly be able to scan
someone's mind. I think that these devices will be used to control eg aircraft, etc.
Under the privacy account, there will be some threats to our privacy
If we were to create a program that could read someone’s mind I think that the closest we could possibly get to is the ability of defining the person’s reaction due to the microexpression. I would recommend TV series called “The Mentalist”. It pretty much highlights the most common techniques used by ‘mind readers’.
2.If in the future there will be more modern methods without big brain scanners, for what can we use this great device?
I think the most humanitarian way of using such a powerful machine would be to use it in communication with paralyzed people and the ones who are being hospitalized without the actual possibility of communication with their loved ones.
3.Do you think that can be dangerous for our privacy?
Using a quote from Spider-man would be the most appropriate answer to that question. “With great power comes great repsonsibility”
I think it will cause a great deal of controversy, but such systems should only be considered during court hearings and so on. This would exclude many errors.
The first of the positive things that could be used for such a machine is catching dangerous criminals and reading them in their minds about the crimes committed by them. Such a machine would also serve for better communication between machines or even people.
As I mentioned earlier, when this happens, we will not have any privacy.
The first thing which comes to my mind is security. I guess some of the airports are already testing 'mind reading' security system. On the other hand if fall in wrong hands it will be catastrophic.
I'm not sure that this technology can somehow harm us. Most probably it will be used in marketing which is also no that good.
2. I think comunicating with people in their vegetative state will be one of the option. Another one is Interrogation - it could be simpler that way ;)
3. I don't know, it all depends of how this technology will be used.
I think that in future we will be connected in to one network using technology that develop for example "Neurolink" and there no need to read minds in tricky way because our brain will be already connected to network one thing that important is security of this interfaces because I think that if some who will hack this interface he will be able to read a lot of information from target brain.
This device may be used for medical treatment, marketing, lie detectors (it's scary) , security devices. A lot of opportunities and on other hand a lot of threats.
I am one hundred percent sure, no doubts it can be dangerous for our privacy. Thoughts are the most intimate that every person has. This technology in wrong hands can destroy people's fates.
I think at some point on an infinite timeline, humans will be able to create a more convenient device to monitor electrical biosignals, but that’s clearly not a priority for now.
Of course, such devices could present a threat to our privacy (and life) if misused or abused. However, mass brain surveillance is comic book level science fiction in my opinion.
