II. SUMMARY TRANSLATION
TASS reported on research now being carried out in the Institute of
Psychology of the Academy of Pedagogic Sciences of the Russian Federation in.
MOSKVA to read human thought from oscillographic recordings. Scientists were
assigned the task of solving the problem of mechanical thought-reading and to
develop an apparatus for this which will be suited for extensive use. The
TASS repo ter watched an experiment for recording the brain reaction during
" the thought process. This recording, together with the nervine reactions on
the "speaking instrument" furnish an oscillographic picture of "internal speech"
Up to now, psychologists have not succeeded in deciphering the bizarre lines of
the automatic recorder. They are close to determining the sound spectrum for
distinguishing the sounds without error, and have already succeeded in determin-
ing the spectrum for a series of vowels.
