Brain scan 'sees hidden thoughts'
Scientists say they can read a person's unconscious thoughts using a simple brain scan.
Functional MRI scans plot brain activity by looking at brain blood flow and are already used by researchers.
A team at University College London found with fMRI they could tell what a person was thinking deep down even when the individual was unaware themselves.
The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, offer exiting new ways to probe the subconscious, said experts.
