At 13:55 they talk about Dr. Wilder Penfield, A Rhodes Scholar that specialized in the artificial stimulation of moods in humans.

Philip K. Dick wrote about the 'Penfield Mood Organ' in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (the book used as the basis for Bladerunner).

In the book (but not the movie) Rick Deckard and his wife Iran are arguing about the Penfield Mood Organ as they get up in the morning. The Mood Organ is a device with which, by punching in a number, a human user can instantly alter his or her mood. Deckard routinely sets it to have him get up in a cheerful mood, and advises his wife to do the same.

Great movie, and was Natalie Woods last film . Really a shame it wasn't released in 70mm/60fps as Douglas Trumbull intended.

I downloaded the movie after watching this, I don't recall seeing it back when.

I saw it years ago, can't recall the source, but on the idiot box not in the theatres.

It's one of those rare movies that tries to educate the audience by using technological analogies

Too many damn scripts to approve to watch it, thanks for the link anyways.

Sorry about that. Just went through the list and finally had to consent to anal rape to get it to play.

Didn't even get an offer of a reach around. Once the .ru links start appearing, well, thanks but no thanks.

Wow. Thanks Brain scanning can be used to download images, if crudely from the visual cortex. Focused IR should be able to upload. For one data point, Openwater is developing inexpensive very precise IR imaging technology.
