Walkman-style brain scanner ::: Pink Tentacle

Came across this article about brain scans that I’m not completely convinced isn’t some sort of April’s fool (for one the picture looks to be about 20 years old).

It is an interesting idea though - but I’m not sure what for! I can see for research into how brains work this might be a brilliant tool - I an see as a medical device for monitoring a patients brain it could be interesting. However - what can it realistically determine and how much of what it can determine can be correctly understood?

The idea seems to be just that an idea an concept more than something close to useful or real - but who knows what the next step will be - perhaps integration with iTunes?
