I've read somewhere about this long time ago. Basically, they observe your brain wave. They test many people and tell them to think about "a hammer" after plugging them in a machine. Of course people don't just think about just "hammer." They always think about something associate with the object, like what it is used for. One person will think about using hammer during construction, another may think about her baby playing with a toy hammer.
What they found is a common pattern between all subject which they believe that pattern is the "hammer." So if they could translate every part of those wave the same way they translate "hammer", they can pretty be able to read minds.
The article is quite bad. There is absolutely no credibility or any actual source to link to the actual research. The same for my post too but I'm not writing an article or selling anything.
I believe the research I speak about is done in Germany.

Neither true nor false. It has elements of truth in it, and it's useful research, but it's still in the early, experimental stages and CANNOT 'read thoughts'.
P.S. You're a little "skeptical", not a little "skeptic".

What they are reading is your reaction to something and to me that's more or else being able to keep a poker face.
You don't need a nuero transmitter to figure out what people are thinking BTW.
You just have to be able to read people's facial expressions.
