Berkeley scientists just unveiled a machine that can read your brain.
No kidding? In “Nature” magazine this week, a group of the university’s neuroscientists published an article about a new scanner system that can gauge what you’re seeing by deciphering activity levels in your brain. According to the article, the machine unscrambles and then matches the brain waves in your head to the images that are being presented to you for viewing.
Jack Gallant, the head of the study, tells the inquisitive student to “imagine that we begin with a large set of photographs chosen at random. You secretly select just one of these and look at it while we measure your brain activity. Given the set of possible photographs and the measurements of your brain activity, the decoder attempts to identify which specific photograph you saw.” read more »
