It's both terrifying and exciting at the same time.
Wouldn't you like to be able to 'see' your dreams after you wake up?
What about the possibility of remotely located machines being able to 'see' what you are thinking about and then present you with a mood-appropriate advertisement, or call the police?
or your girlfriend, instead of relentless asking you 'what are you thinking about' every time you stop paying attention to her, can simply turn on the scanner and see how dirty and jaded your mind really is.
As interesting as this technology is, I really don't want people to know exactly what I am really thinking.
