Mind reading may refer to: Telepathy, the transfer of information between individuals by means other than the five senses; The illusion of telepathy in the performing art of mentalism. Cold reading, a set of techniques used by mentalists to imply that the reader knows much more about the person than the reader actually does
Brain-reading or thought identification uses the responses of multiple voxels in the brain evoked by stimulus then detected by fMRI in order to decode the original stimulus. Advances in research have made this possible by using human neuroimaging to decode a person's conscious experience based on non-invasive measurements of an individual's ...
On the one hand, one hypothesis proposes that some non-human animals have complex cognitive processes which allow them to attribute mental states to other individuals, sometimes called "mind-reading" while another proposes that non-human animals lack these skills and depend on more simple learning processes such as associative learning; [4] or ...
Researchers have invented a mind-reading cap capable of non-invasively decoding thoughts into text for the first time.. The technology, developed by a team at the University of Technology Sydney ...
Where a mind-reading performance does not involve the spectator writing the secret thought down, generally the method employed is that the mentalist purports to predict the secret thought by (apparently) writing an unseen prediction, often behind a clipboard or other hard surface, then he asks the spectator to reveal the thought, and the ...
Representationalism (also known as indirect realism) is the view that representations are the main way we access external reality.. The representational theory of mind attempts to explain the nature of ideas, concepts and other mental content in contemporary philosophy of mind, cognitive science and experimental psychology.
Empathic accuracy is an aspect of what William Ickes called "everyday mind reading". [3] A person's understanding of the states of others is extremely important to that person's successful social interaction, and the costs of failing in this task can be high, as seen in the social difficulties of people with autism spectrum disorders. [4]
CTM therefore holds that the mind is not simply analogous to a computer program, but that it is literally a computational system. [4] Computational theories of mind are often said to require mental representation because 'input' into a computation comes in the form of symbols or representations of other objects. A computer cannot compute an ...
