Right. As a kid, I had a Norwegian Elkhound named Smokey. We were going to play road hockey (my brother, sister and I) and of course mom too, to round things out to 4 people.

We were using small pieces of firewood to mark the goal posts, and I gave one to Smokey and said "Take this to mom". He took it in his mouth and walked 20 feet over to her. It was a very deliberate thing. He could have ran off to chew on it, like he enjoyed doing, or been distracted by my brother and sister who were in the way. Instead he set it down gently between her feet.

A lot of truth in that!

But to my opinion researchers won't be able to see thoughts on (f)MRI scans.
All they can see on (f)MRI scans is the brain areas and which areas are active during a specific task (compared to a control task). But I wouldn't call that 'thought(s)'.

Shame. I was thinking they would finally find the part of the brain that goes yellow when we think 'banana'.
