Interesting...  I interpreted "decoding thoughts" as identifying a concept, or an intention, before it's resulted in motor activity such as verbalisation, activation of limb muscles, etc.  But leaving aside the issue of sensors, would this require a processor having the same order of complexity as the human brain, especially if the whole brain is involved in creating that intention?
