Nasa research et al are already able to read voice subvocalizations. While not reading the mind directly it does offer a method for a computer to monitor any sub vocalization and accept silent commands.
It would also seem to be a boon for handicapped people who have lost use of their arms for typing. And free a pilots hands when interacting with the flight computer or targeting system. http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/login.jsp?url=/iel5/9518/30166/01385845.pd f http://www.magicspeedreading.com/subvocalization/nasa.html http://technocrat.net/d/2006/3/25/1606 I wonder if a persons subvocalizations was monitored while they were testifying in a court of law if it would make perjury much more difficult because much of the subvocalization that we do occurs at a subconscious level although some speed readers have reportedly trained themselves not to subvocalize so that they can read faster. Of course they could always refuse on the basis of the their fifth amendment but then the judge and jury knows that they are hiding something and their regular testimony could be disregarded as well.
