Device That Records and Interprets Dreams

After i watched christopher nolan's inception i've been seriously thinking whether its possible in Real time to record dreams and to intrude into one's dream. The answer may lie in near future as scientists made a significant step as researchers made a device capable of Recording higher brain activity .in near future it would be possible to read people's dream and intrept them.

Its not thing from science fiction movie or a animated comic story(i saw one episode of japanese cartoon "doremon" in which ,the main character reads the dream record it and shows to his friends with help of gadget).
The day may not be far when this would be possible. Its been a mystery for scientists how dreams are occurred when they do occur !!
Perhaps this latest discovery can answer these questions.


Now after so much of research a us scientist Dr.Moran Cerf claims its possible to electronically record and analyse dreams. For centuries people have been fascinated by dreams and what they are.why do the occur. What does they mean.In ancient period they believe that dreams were the messages to them sent by god.
Till now psychologists have been using dream analysis as a tool to understand The subconscious mind.but it does.nt provide any info.the only way to know about dream is to question the person.But the aim of cerf's project is to develop a system that would enable psychologist to corroborate people's recollection of their dream with an electroic visualisation of their brain activity.

In Mr.cerf paper he suggested that the activity of individual brain cells or neurons are associated to specific objects or concepts .his study found when ever a Person thinks of something,a particular neuron lit up.they made a huge database for each patient in order to identify neurons for wide range of objects and concepts .by observing which brain cell lit up and when cerf and his team were able to read the subjects minds. Soon or later all questions why humans dream,when do we dream will be answered this could be a major turn up in study of dreams.:-)

Inception Review

Finally the most awaited movie of the year is released .An another masterpiece from the ace director Christopher Nolan(The Dark Knight ,Batman Begins,Memento).
Inception actually managed to top Nolan's last film,The Dark knight which is believed to be the best in his carrer on almost every level.
A big applause to Christopher Nolan, the visionary director behind "Batman Begins", "The Dark Knight", and "Memento", has brought his project of more than twenty years. Featuring a cast of some of the world's greatest stars,Leonardo Decaprio, Joseph Gdon-Levitt, Ellen Page,cillian murphy,Michael caine.
Definetly this is one of the best movie in this decade.Christopher Nolan made a onscreen visualisation of almost impossible things.It’s arguably the most anticipated film of this summer.
Director : Christopher Nolan

Tagline:Your mind is the scene of the crime.
 Genre:sci-fic,gangster,action,thriller
Cinematography:Wally Pfister

Inception takes place in a world where technology exists for people to invade in someone's mind when he/she is dreaming. Leonardo DiCaprio(Cobb)plays a thief who specializes in extracting information and ideas from the minds of his targets when they are  subconscious during the dream state.this makes a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage,costs him to lose his everything he loved.

Cobb and his team is faced with a new challenge to go into the mind of an energy conglomerate heir and pull off the reverse. Planting an idea in the persons mind instead of stealing it.

As of the previous movies of Christopher Nolan's Memento,The prestige this is a bit of complicated
this is one of the most confusing and complex film i ever saw.
 similar to memento you need to see atleast twice to understand fully.But no doubt that Inception is terrific! I would rate it above matrix in the complexity factor.Even though complexity in Inception is above Matrix, Nolan still managed to explain it in a terrific way.
Absoultely this is a techincal brilliance thunderous music,gripping story,mind blowing visuals,clever taking makes a inception to be best.
