China has developed a mind-reading device that can detect when men view pornography, a move aimed at eventually banning all pornography consumption.
According to NYPost, Chinese researchers claimed they have developed
an official patent for a device capable of “reading a man’s mind” and
specifically detecting when he is watching erotic movie. The current
prototype of the device is said to be capable of detecting brain waves
that are activated when a man is exposed to pornography.
The study was conducted on 15 male college students who were placed in
front of a computer screen playing porn while wearing the device on
their head. The mind reader will then be able to process a collection of
photos and videos and flag anything suspicious.
Xu Jianjun, who carried out the research and is also the director of the
electrical engineering department at Beijing Jiaotong University, says
that the purpose behind the device is “to detect bad information”. He
also claims that the results are 80% accurate and can filter out
additional signals that can trigger brainwaves when emotions are emitted
from non-porn-related content.
With pornography illegal in China, government officials in the country
are getting serious about cracking down on pornography consumption by
deploying censorship agencies known as “porn examiners” tasked with
searching the internet to flag inappropriate content.
