It's about time

I had to laugh when I read the headline German Scientists Reading Minds Using Brain-Scan Machines. My first thought was women have been doing this for years, followed closely by, "well it is about time"

BERLIN — At a laboratory in Germany, volunteers slide into a
donut-shaped MRI machine and perform simple tasks, such as deciding
whether to
add or subtract two numbers, or choosing which of two buttons to
press.
They have no inkling that scientists in the next room are trying
to
read their minds — using a brain scan to figure out their intention
before it is
turned into action. In the past, scientists had been able
to detect decisions
about making physical movements before those movements
appeared.

But researchers at Berlin's Bernstein Center for Computational
Neuroscience claim
they have now, for the first time, identified people's
decisions about how they would later do a high-level mental activity — in
this case, adding versus subtracting.

Isn't this what we have been asking our men to do for years? Now they really won't have an excuse
