Can we actually read minds?

Some scientists believe it may be possible to read peoples' minds based on the patterns of the neurons in their brains
. As current studies are showing, a participant navigating around a virtual environment records a certain pattern of neurons that indicate to scientists exactly where the participant is located in the virtual world. The idea for current studies is that this basic pattern of neurons suggests that in the future, we will literally be able to read minds. Meaning, of course, you'll never again hear your boss ask, "Why can't you just read my mind?"

But then, to what will we respond sarcastically?
