I'm a bit torn on something like this. I've been fooling around with consumer level EEG systems and can see the potential for a number of applications in real life. These undoubtedly would benefit people, but I can see corporations or governments using them for their own purposes. For example (and this one is off the top of my head) there is one pattern that is strongly indicative of focused attention. Think of the advertising exploits you could do with that.
Another potential there is some indication you can train the person to produce EEG patterns to some extent (brainwave entrainment or neurofeedback). Now if it could be shown that certain 2nd or 3rd order patterns were indicative of certain beliefs or attitudes, that could be exploited, again either by governments or organizations. The potential for abuse from this sort of remote technology, either just for monitoring purposes or for manipulation is very high. On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 10:36 PM, Larry C.
