Ah yes, to quote:

Indeed, not very difficult to tap the thoughts from your brain. But is it science progressing?

Progressing scientifically, surely yes? But is it a good idea if it could be used wrongly do you mean?
Science is a tool it can be used for good or bad. So perhaps the question is: What good could this do? Other than it simply being fascinating as science is (at least to me). Seen as it could perhaps be abused.
Hmm I'm not sure. Hopefully it will be kept under control.
If that's what you meant PR? Because surely scientifically its evidently progressing? How exactly would it be moving backwards?

Frankly I think the team that achieved this might be somewhat offended by that remark and yes, of course it is progress in scientific terms.

It's certainly not going backwards...

Or do you mean "progressing" as in an actual use for the science? As of yet there isn't a use, but once they perfect it they could use it for many things:
- Determining what kind of problems eye patients have.
- Learning more about how the brain processes images.
- Developing the science so we can extract thoughts as images.
