"How close are they of hacking your brain"?

Not very, despite the author's thorough Wikipedia research.

Mind reading, though, that might not be so far away. If you're curious search around for "MRI SVM whole brain classification".

Also, thanks for the tip on the mind reading, that's some interesting stuff!
