Last time a polish newspaper featured an article about Indect, they wrote that Indect is going to infer your intentions from cameras before they even occur to you, and call the military for intervention (seriously!). There's a bit of minority-report-like fear in the news.

One of the paragraph says about brain-wave reflection registered by computers that will be used to determine criminal intentions. And no, it doesn't seem to be intended to be a joke. God, I hate this kind of journalism.



Wonder what's more absurd teleacquisition of EEG signal or ability to actually read any concrete information about thoughts from them.

Nonetheless, it's rather sad, because the issue is rather serious and that's a rather serious newspaper, isn't it?

It is, or so I believed. I don't read or trust any newspaper anymore; given how usually even most serious news articles get debunked in comments 5 minutes after posting to HN I don't think I'm loosing much...


That seems similar to what Keeneo ( http://www.keeneo.com/ ) has been doing for years. See:
