Will there ever be a device that can visually show people's memories or dreams?

Question

I was wondering if anyone thinks there will ever be technology which can visualize people's memories or dreams?

Answer 1

Extremely unlikely. Dreams are not visual events, it's just the abstract concepts. But even if it were possible, dreams are disconnected from reality. That's why we often dream we are flying. We 'do' things in dreams that we've never done, or wouldn't do, in real life. But have some fun. Write a story about the invention.  Start learning what we know (not what we fantasize) about the brain and memory.

Answer 2

There should not be, and I hope there never is.  That is a persons peace and privacy.

Answer 3

Never say never, but it seems unlikely. We understand so little about the structure and working of the human brain regarding how memories are stored. With today's understanding and extrapolation therefrom I would have to answer in the negative.

Answer 4

I don't see how... I mean it would just be like... creating a a device to show what a person is thinking visually.  Or what someone is imagining.
