There are already commercial headsets available that can read brainwaves, like Emotiv.
Let us start with such a headset. And let us now add voice recognition capabilities.
Suppose you are in a state happiness and you think, I want to experience this state again in the future.
So you say:"Input
happy".
So the headset then reads the occuring set of brainwaves and saves this profile of brainwaves in a file named happy.
A few days later, you want to feel this state again, so you say: "Command Happy"
Luckily this headset also has a way to activate the brain. For example with tDCS or TMS.
So the headset then starts an algorithm by which the present brainwaves are read and then electrical (or EM or ultrasound) signals are send to the brain in order to adjust the present brainwaves towards the saved profile.
And miraculousy, in only a few seconds, that state of happyness is recreated.
Just as one would look at a picture to recreate a view once experienced
It should be noted however that it may still be unfeasible with present technology.

Well, not magic in that it would be easy to recreate trips to the dentist by the neural spikes on the headset and a low voltage. But who would want that? |

[m-f-d] disputed. Definitley not "magic". TMS
is WKTE and is developing rapidly. EEG
headsets as described do indeed exist. Voice
recognition is well known and the processor
power to record and store brainwave data is,
if not already availabe in a portable format,
then rapidly moving that way. |

This is in fact a good idea since it doesn't
require explicit identification of functional
locii within the cortex. It's just an "analog
playback" which is far easier to achieve. |

I don't think it warrants an [mfd]. However, I don't
think it would work either. The " brainwaves" that
are measured and recordable are only the grosser
manifestations of something subtler. |

This is a bit like saying that, just because you
sweat when you're having sex, dousing yourself in
water will be a turn on. |

I suspect it would be easier to use TMS to target
different bits of the brain until you find one that
does great things; I suspect that aspect of things
has already been tried. |

//It should be noted however that it may still be unfeasible with present technology.// Yes. But not as far away as you may think. Or think you think... |
