The scientist believes his latest research shows that certain neurons（神经元） or individual brain cells are linked with specific objects or concepts.He found that a particular neuron lit up when a volunteer thought about Marilyn Monroe.If a database was built up identifying various neurons with concepts，objects and people，it would allow them to “read the subject's minds”，according to Dr Cerf.However，Dr Roderick Oner，a clinical psychologist and dream expert，said that this kind of picture would be of limited help when it came to interpreting the “complex dream story”．

　　In order to get a detailed picture of individual neurons，scientists had to have electrodes（电极） implanted deep in the brain by using surgery.The Nature researchers used data from patients who had electrodes implanted to monitor and treat them for brain seizures.However，Dr Cerf said he hoped that it would be possible at a later stage to monitor people without invasive surgery.He said it would be “wonderful” to be able to read the minds of coma（昏迷的） patients who are unable to communicate.

　　A．We couldn't do that because of our limited science knowledge

　　B．Only some scientists could do that with some special systems.

　　C．Everyone could do that by asking about the dreamers after the event.
