Default Future Science Question... V. do you think its possible.

I dont even know why i thought of this, but i did.

So, do you think it would be possible to ever see the last thing a dying person saw after they died?

i have no clue how they would even go about doing this, but if they could figure it out that would be crazy...

Even if it was for another 100 years or so, do you guys think its some how possible?

No I was being serious...

It's basically the opposite of translating digital signals to a blind person's brain so they can see... you just have to be able to translate brain signals to digital signals.

Of course it's a limited window h:

Sure. You'd have to isolate the region of the brain the senses visual perception. Not necessarily the optical nerve because that would simply show you what the eyes are seeing (which may not be what a person "sees" right before they die). Where that is exactly on the brain might be known already. But how to tap into it and transfer what the brain is visualizing into a digital image you could display on a screen would be the tricky part. I think we're a little far from that now. But sure, in 100 years why not.

So you think they are trying it now (secretly) or not wasting time with it yet.?

Don't they say a person that gets beheaded has enough time to see his own body before they "die" h:

that seems legitimate...

i wonder if a scientific break like this would limit the amount of murders??
i would say not really because people would just go about killing differently.
