OK. I could comment on the title, but it's to be expected from science reporting. And the result is really not surprising at all. We already know that sensory and motor areas will respond to imagined sensation and movement. And of course no one has taken fMRI past this very gross level of decoding specificity.

But...it is kind of a sweet study. I mean, using lucid dreamers so you can actually have a subject-mediated independent variable in the dream state: awesome. Whoever came up with that was inspired. :P
