Using this method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions（假设）70 percent of the time. Its not quite mind reading, but its certainly a first step.Dr. J.Dear Dr. Jeffers, My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably.

The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you dont notice how your shoulder feels while youre walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder, you may jump in fear. Its that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction.Dr. J.21.What can we learn from the answer to the first question? A. Some equipment is able to read human minds.B.
