Japanese boffins READ YOUR DREAMS with MRI Japanese boffins say they can tell what you are dreaming about by analysing magnetic resonance imager (MRI) scans. Researchers at Kyoto’s ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories published their breakthrough findings in Science magazine in a paper titled Neural Decoding of Visual Imagery During Sleep. The boffins used …
Most people can tune out constant background noise like the hum of an MRI. I know I've slept in one before, but I had been kept up for 30 someodd hours before hand specifically so I'd fall asleep easily, so that may not be the best example.
