House, MD really is the best show on TV.  Last night I watched the latest episode on Hulu and it mentioned cognitive pattern recognition software.  I ran a few searches on the subject and it turns out that there is a lot of fascinating research going on in that area.  Technology seen in "House" is far more advanced than anything that currently exists, but after reading a few research papers on the ongoing projects, the real deal does not seem to be too far away.

Alternatively, you soon you`ll be able to record your dreams.  Technology rocks!!!
