Did someone just take a Japanese translation and put it in Babel? If not, I'm really sad.- Blaine —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.29.124 (talk) 23:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Brainstorm.jpg
Image:Brainstorm.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Synthajoy
the novel by D.G. Compton seems quite similar. i found 3 references which refer to the connection,, and. I think this should be mentioned in the article.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:07, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Sci Fi meets reality
Back in 2009 I saw the discovery channel and scientist actually built a computer Hat which can read people thoughts and control objects by brainwaves. It still is primitive, but it is basically the same thing. The inventors call the device "The Hat"

Sorry that I cannot find the article about the Hat. Honda built one.

There are now numerous devices which can achieve these functions. I would like to argue that the technology contrived in "Brainstorm" is unprecedented enough that if steps were taken to bring it to reality, that those steps should be noted here in the article. If the Star Trek article can have a paragraph noting that technology depicted in that creative work later became a reality, then by golly, so can Brainstorm. I am referring to this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brainstorm_(1983_film)&oldid=485457642 -- and I fully intend to bring the section on "Real-life applications" back in the near future. It should not have been reverted and the person who reverted it is just being a curmudgeon, not actually doing any useful or valuable work on the article.

 * The link that you provided doesn't appear to be the one you might have intended...it doesn't show any changes to the article nor does it include a Real-life applications section.
 * I have to wonder whether it was necessary to attack the removing editor and would recommend that you review WP:NPA.
 * If such a section does not include reliable sources then, provided you re-add it without adding sources, it will be in violation of WP:BURDEN and likely be removed again.
 * I note that the information at the Star Trek article is reliably-sourced. I will hope that if the presence of such information there is going to be used by you to justify a similar addition here then you will provide equally reliable sourcing. DonIago (talk) 12:58, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Brainstorm filming location and "futuristic" research building
From available images online it looks it was shot at "Research Triangle Park" North Carolina. Was that the location? Many people wonder where is that "futuristic" architecture building in real world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.182.85.174 (talk) 23:55, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
