MIND-READING may no longer be the domain of psychics and fortune tellers – now some computers can do it.

Intel showcased some of its technological innovations yesterday in Manhattan.

Among the still-under-development projects was software that uses brain scans to determine what items people are thinking about.

The software analyses functional MRI scans to determine what parts of a person’s brain is being activated as he or she thinks.

Intel Labs researcher Dean Pomerleau says that in tests, it guessed with 90 per cent accuracy which of two words a person was thinking about.

The technology could eventually help the severely physically disabled to communicate.

Mr Pomerleau also sees it as an early step toward being able to control technology with our minds.
