Coming Soon: "Creating Movies With Your Mind"

Don't we all dream about stuff we believe should be a movie?  I certainly do and many scientists have somewhat successfully decided to put together a computer program to help us do just that.  A study in the Current Biology journal reveals the use of MRI scanners, among other electronic devices, to decipher the neaural activity of the brain into images.  Crazy right?
