Reconstructing visual experiences from brain activity evoked by natural movies.

A research team at UC Berkeley has been decoding dynamic natural visual experiences from the human visual cortex using an mri scanner... the clip on the left is the clip that was being watched, the clip on the right is a reconstruction based on the viewers brain activity as sampled by the scanner...

I wonder if this will ever develop into a technology capable of recording our personal experiences - like in the 90's dystopian movie "Strange Days"...
