Neural Technology

A while back, I had read an article that was about a scientist that used an MRI to try to read someone's dreams. Though the image was not all that clear, it was still impressive what it could conjure up. The way this happened was that the MRI read the electric pulses sent between neurons and while that happened, the machine recorded those and tried to make an image. The recorded electric signals of the neurons had to be converted into readable code for the computer. When translated for the computer, the computer would take that information to create an image for the viewer. 

That whole process is something that inspires me to become a neural engineer. I want to be able to make something similar to that but more precise and portable. One crazy idea that I had was if that was a way to use a laser version of an MRI and scan particular parts of the brain to make the image. As far as I know, no such technology exists but I plan to make it a reality unless someone else does. 

This technology doesn't only have to be made for making images but for inserting images into the brain. The applications of this technology are only bound by the user's imagination. With it, the user would be able to think of something and see it in front of them with augmented reality. Even living in a virtual world would be possible or controlling a robot instead of using your body. You could hypothetically live forever. All this is only but a theory, but it could be possible depending on the way the interests of science starts to lean toward.

I can't wait to see the future of neural engineering but I know it is going to be amazing.
