Introduction
 People express their mental states, including emotions, thoughts,

and desires, all the time through facial expressions, vocal
nuances and gestures.
 Mind reading machine is co-ordination of human psychology &
computer techniques.
 Some equipment are used to gather data & then analyzed. To use
those data for further prediction is known as “Theory of mind
reading”.
Principle of Mind Reading
A computational model of mind-reading

 Drawing inspiration from psychology, computer vision and
machine learning, the team in the Computer Laboratory at the
University of Cambridge has developed mind-reading machines
— computers that implement a computational model of mind-
reading to infer mental states of people from their facial signals.
 The goal is to enhance human-computer interaction through
empathic responses, to improve the productivity of the user and
to enable applications to initiate interactions with and on behalf
of the user, without waiting for explicit input from that user.
There are difficult challenges:
Why mind reading
 Drawing inspiration from psychology, computer vision and

machine learning has developed mind reading machines
computer.
 Using a digital video camera, the mind reading computer system
analyzes a person’s facial expressions in real time and infers
that person’s underlying mental state.
 Prior knowledge of how particular mental states are expressed in
the face is combined with analysis of facial expression and head
gestures occurring in real time.
 Software from NEVEN VISION identifies 24 feature points on the
face and tracks them in real time
How does it work?

 The mind reading computer system presents information
about your mental state easily as a keyboard and a mouse
present text and commands. Imagine a future where we are
surrounded with mobile phones, cars and online services that
can read our mind and react to our mood.
 We are also looking at the use of mind reading to support on-
line shopping and learning systems.
 The mind reading computer system may also be used to
monitor and suggest improvements in human-human
interaction..
Process of mind reading computers.
Web search
 For the first test of sensors, scientists trained the

program to recognize six words including “go”, “left”
and “right” -10 numbers.
 Then researchers put the letters of the alphabets into a
matrix with each column and row labeled with a single
digit number.
 These were used to silently spell “NASA” into a web
search engine using program.
Techniques
 Facial Affect Detection

It is done using hidden Markov Model, Neural
Network processing or active appearance model.
 Emotional Classification
Classification by Anger, Fear, Happiness,
Disgust ,Sadness, Surprise.
Techniques
 Facial Electromyography
It is use to measure the electrical activity of
the facial muscles. Muscles used are
“corrugator supercilii muscle” and others.
 Galvanic Skin Response

It is a measure of skin conductivity, which is
dependent on how moist the skin is.
 Blood Volume Pulse

 a) It is measured by process called
photo-plethysmography.
 b) It produces a graph indicating
blood flow through the extremities.
Applications
 Mind-Reading Computers could ‘save your life’.

 Control robots by brain power.
 Emergency.
 Mind-Reading Computer that could communicate with coma patient.
 A mind controlled wheel chair developed from the university of electro-
communications in japan.
Advantages and uses
 Can read minds.

 Help paralytic patients.
 Help comma patients.
 Help people who cant speak.
 Can be used for military field and sting operation.
 Eliminate the capability of life.
Disadvantages and problems
 Breach in privacy.
 Can extract, through an individual, an important secure
and confidential information of individual, state or even a
country.
 If developed or used by sinners, can be highly
dangerous.
 No way to neutralize this technology.
 Eavesdropping.
Conclusion :
 Tufts university researchers have begun a 3 year research project

which, if successful, will allow computers to respond to the brain
activity of the computer’s users.
 IBM says Mind reading is no longer science fiction we will have mind-
reading computers with in 5 years.
