dmitriSat, Dec 13, 2008 I remember seeing in high school psychology class a video of researchers looking at the visual cortex of a cat (They have more resolute vision than most animals) with a web-like pattern that flashed in front of it being reproduced. That video was from way back in the 1970's, I think.
What I remember asking the teacher is this: If it's just electromagnetic radiation, then isn't mind-reading at a distance possible?
Hell, you can already do it to computer monitors. I'm in a bit of a rush so I can't provide links, but google up "van eck phreaking", TEMPEST (government research into the matter), and TEMPEST for Eliza (*nix app where you can make a little tune on an AM radio next to a monitor, which provides the signal)
