gentryx's Journal: One Step Closer to Mind-Reading Machines

Researchers at Berkeley have come up with a brain model to reconstruct what you are seeing, using only fMRI measurements and a library of YouTube clips. Possible future uses could be to visualize what comatose or blind patients are seeing, or even to record dreams. Looks like just another one of William Gibson's predictions have come true (after e.g. the Cyberspace). The videos (2nd video, paper) are still blurry, but it's frightening to imagine what could be done with a more precise model and a stealthy fMRI. Ladies and gentlemen: don your tin foil hats!"
