If it produces images of brain activity, it can show what areas of the brain are being used. But it sounds like this technology can show how people are thinking more than what they are thinking--certainly not enough to visualize dreams on screen.

From the story I don't think they are just looking at areas of the brain that show activity. They are actually intercepting the signals from the retina to the brain and translating it. This is pretty major. This isn't simple MRI images.

But if you're dreaming, are your retinas registering anything? I wouldn't think that the brains visual centers are processing in the retina, but in the visual centers and it doesn't make physiological sense to send those images 'back' to the retinas.
