Boffins can read your brain waves to look around corners

Holy X-ray vision

Boffins at the University of Glasgow have demonstrated a “ghost imaging” system that reads the brainwaves of a person looking at light scattered off a wall to identify an object around a corner.

The effect is to create non-line-of-sight (NLoS) imaging, which allows the viewing of objects obscured by obstacles. Sometimes, it involves beaming laser light onto a surface, around a corner and back to a camera sensor, then using algorithms to decode the scattered returned light to identify the object.

While this has been done with cameras the Glasgow study uses eyes instead which makes it a little more like X-ray vision.
