Did you read the main article?

These are the limitations right now. With enough built up information, the computer would be able to tell what is going on in your mind's eye, not just what you see with your eyes. It is not simply working with the visual cortex, it is working with an image of the whole brain. If the computer tracks the blood flow when you are imagining a unicorn, eventually we will be able to tell if someone is thinking of a unicorn.

And even if you question the authenticity of the technology, just pretend we are talking hypothetically. After all, this is a pretty intense leap of technology.

Also, you took my "nothing is impossible" statement to the extremes. We can't physically travel faster than the speed of light, but I am sure we can get from one spot to another faster than light can by other means.
