Oh well, this is indeed so, to film a representation of the thought
process is not even enough. Maybe the nearest thing though is to take a
few shots of a brain having a thought, through a PET scanner device ,
or wait for technology that will be able to scan something more
directly related to what is being experienced. Well it gets into
people's people's fantasies, so maybe a thought camera will be come
into being one day in the distant future.
