"A study in the journal Current Biology appeared roughly a month ago bearing the provocative title "Reading Hidden Intentions in the Human Brain." Somehow, the work slipped under the radar until this week, when it broke as news thanks to the efforts of a writer from the AP, who attempted to drum up fears of future mind-reading government security forces. The study itself primarily emphasizes how far we have to go before that becomes a reality, so it's worth taking a look at what it entailed."
