    Is it possible to learn to read human's mind?

    Sometimes you want to read human's thoughts. Has anyone heard where it is possible to learn it? I am sorry if this question is not related to the topic.

    Yes. In your mind I see that you want to sell me a $50 video on how to read minds.

    I have thought about this topic many times and decided that:
    1) I would make millions of dollars playing high stakes poker picking off bluffs and light shoves, etc
    2) I would solve unsolvable crimes (missing persons cases, murders, etc)
    3) I would read women's minds like the movie What Women Want and finally understand (if possible) what they want

    Now, thanks to OP, I can add a fourth:
    4) I would know whether this OP was a troll or not

    From my observations in nature animals can sense things that have no other way to know than mental communication. There is every reason to believe we have the same capability; although, repressed by our tremendous ability to communicate using speech and writing. Our mental abilities have atrophied through a lack of need to use it.

    With the aid of an FMRI, or electrodes plugged into the brain, we can detect some pretty cool things.

    Reading minds without the aid of a device... Nope. Although, you can fool many people into believing that you can read minds by employing various mentalist and cold reading tricks.

    It's not so much reading a person's mind as it is a reading of their behavior and mannerisms, which can "tell" what a person may be thinking. Conversely, one can use body language and other cues to guide another person's thoughts in a desired direction.

    I think there's a show about this (or maybe it was a spoof on some other show idk). But basically a bunch of people show up to a show and the host can summon dead spirits or something. He starts off with, "I'm feeling a presence, a woman....her name is Marie....or maybe Mary....or..." Then someone says "oh yes! My wife's name was Maggy she died 3 years ago! That's her!" Then the host goes on "ah, Maggy right. And she was a beautiful woman right?" The audience person says "yes, she was very beautiful, she had the most amazing jewelry". Host goes on " and she was a loving person right?" Of course audience person says yes. Host continues "and I'm feeling like there was one piece of jewelry she adored the most. It was gold, perhaps diamonds?" And the audience dude says "yes her wedding ring, she never took it off!" Then host says "she was a great wife and truly misses being with you...." And it continues. Then host goes on "now I'm feeling the presence of a man. Hard working, always on time and never missed a day of hard work....starts with a J.....Josh, or John? Maybe Jack". If no one in audience responds, he says " I'm starting to lose the presence it's fading away......the new presence is an elderly , can't tell if male or female....fought cancer for many years...." Someone shouts out that was their ______....and it continues.
