Watch out for those maple-leafed rucksacks, Canadians have mastered the ability to read minds.
Researchers at Canada's largest children's rehabilitation hospital have developed an infrared brain imaging system that can decode a person's preference for one of two drinks with 80 per cent accuracy.
In a study published this month in The Journal of Neural Engineering, Bloorview scientists reveal how a headband fitted with IR fibre-optics can pick up thoughts and preferences.
Beaming stuff into your brain
The headband emits light into the pre-frontal cortex of the brain, while the hapless subject is asked to make a mental choice between two alternatives - in this case, two drinks.
After teaching the computer to recognise the unique pattern of brain activity associated with preference for each subject, the researchers can accurately predict which drink the participants liked best 80 per cent of the time.
"This is the first system that decodes preference naturally from spontaneous thoughts," says Sheena Luu, the University of Toronto student in biomedical engineering who led the study.
Mine's more active when I'm eating cheese
"When your brain is active, the oxygen in your blood increases and, depending on the concentration, it absorbs more or less light," Luu says. "In some people, their brains are more active when they don't like something, and in some people they're more active when they do like something."
In the future, Luu envisions creating a portable, near-infrared sensor that rests on the forehead and relies on wireless technology, opening up the world of choice to children who can't speak or move.
That's all very well, although TechRadar envisions a future where Canadians rule the world with an iron fist, probing a terrified global population with brain scans to seek out and mind-wipe anyone who thinks a bad thought about the Winter Olympics.

Greetings!
Everyone feel free to distribute the following press announcement to national and local media - TV, radio, newspapers about our upcoming press conference.
We are seeing the beginnings of a developing news story regarding organized stalking and electronic torture.
In the past few months we've had 2 mainstream TV shows, 2 local TV news stories (San Antonio,TX and Louisville,KY), and several local newspaper articles featuring our issues.
We're on a roll because of everyone's efforts at exposing these atrocities.
Keep up the great work!

......at 11:30 am,

to call attention to a new wave of criminal behavior called organized stalking and electronic torture.
The victims of these covert crimes suffer the effects of mind and body-invasive technologies that have caused great physical, psychological, and emotional harm to many thousands of targeted individuals across the country and the globe.
The perpetrators of these crimes range from rogue elements of every level of government to corporations to private citizens.
Not since the late 70's has a serious look been given to the increasing intrusion by the US intelligence agencies into the private lives of American citizens. A congressional hearing and investigation into these covert activities is way overdue. A gathering of engineers, doctors, authors, a psychologist, and human rights activists, to name a few are expected to speak. One of the speakers is a Missouri statehouse representative and one of the guest speakers appeared in an episode last season of Jesse Ventura's "Conspiracy Theory" television series. The importance and prominence of this assembly of individuals signals the rise of a major issue in this country whose time has come to be addressed.

Microwave Sickness / Deadly Electronic Weapons / Canada
Hello
When I worked in the diesel generator business,
I worked with a lot of communications companies all across Canada.
Bell Canada was a big one I did a lot of work with.
They have "standby diesel generators" at their central offices and all their repeater stations.
A lot of "national security" concerns within these systems.
I worked on a fairly large "fibre optics" project in 1996 into 1997 when I was poisoned for the first time in 1997
People within these systems have more than enough resources to make you "sick" if you ......"step on the wrong toes."
Lots of surlpus "microwave generators." and "radio equipment."
All with "no forensic evidence."
It just takes one "idiot" to put something together who does not like you.
There may be a union / non union theme to my problems.
I worked at a non union company, Harper Detroit Diesel.
I had no idea about "radio waves as weapons" until 2005,
......8 years after I initially got sick
I started my research project in January 2004 on the internet with the keywords "constructive dismissal"
in relation to my own problems at Harper Detroit Diesel.
I am not sure about ......"microwave mind control",
seems to be a lot of articles on the internet about this topic.
It does look like more and more people world wide are looking at
......"radio waves as weapons".
I think maybe thats because there is now so much "radio equipment"around the world with the advancements in "communications."
The problems with all these types of systems is the technology falls into the wrong hands.
Some real horror stories from people worldwide about this topic on the internet.
What an eye opener !

2. That is a very old hat, at least 35 years old.This system had been used by the Secret Services since 1976- Russia and USA first, but still more or less secret.

1. Pretty serious science reported by a clown who maybe wants to write bad standup material.
Mark Harris exposes a junior grade wit and injects a large dose of irrelevance to the story.
You people need an editor, obviously.
