This idea seems scary but I'm hoping it means we can use it to help people with disabilities that prevent them from communicating. Ex. Dementia patients, nonverbal autistic folk, folks with ALS, coma patients, etc. And maybe we can even extend that to animals someday!

Even if I had a disability i dont want anyone reading my mind. That's off limits.

It could also upend our entire criminal justice system. Imagine the power of being able to subpoena someone and have them ready their mind. Beyond reasonable doubt will come to an end

i think the images that run through your head could not be used no matter how convicing they are. Recalled memories are not video or photographic evidence. Someone asked about a murder would be very likely to visualize a murder. The human mind is messy.
