There's an old german folksong, "Die Gedanken sind frei" / the thoughts are free!
It seems that's from now on history.

Wow, that was confusing at first. But then I figured out that the "mindreads" were just compilations of similar videos that stimulated the brain in the same way. That explains what all those extra bits of text were doing floating across the bottom of the screen in some parts of the video.

It looks like a promising start, but it's still waaay off from "true" mind reading, so don't worry about strangers reading your secret fantasies just yet!
