RECONSTRUCTION VISUALS. "Scientists have now used brain scanners to hack into our thoughts like never before. After scanning the brains of men and women who were looking at photos of different faces, researchers at Yale University have found a way to reconstruct the image of those faces based solely on patterns of neural activity in the brain scans. Mind. Blown." https://lnkd.in/dhvwdie View in LinkedIn

PROMISING START. "Scientists say they can now download signals from your brain — and translate them back into a picture that you saw. The images aren't crystal clear, but you can make out what's going on." https://lnkd.in/dvf2rM2 View in LinkedIn

ANTICIPATE MOVEMENTS. "Technology can reconstruct video based on a person's thoughts and even anticipate your moves while you drive." https://lnkd.in/djGb_Y5 View in LinkedIn

BRAIN-TO-TEXT. "A brain-to-text system can translate brain activity into written words." http://www.popsci.com/mind-reading-technology-turns-thoughts-text View in LinkedIn

KEY TURNING POINT. "Reconstructing Speech from Human Auditory Cortex. The results provide insights into higher order neural speech processing and suggest it may be possible to readout intended speech directly from brain activity." Such important findings are difficult to untangle from the obtuse language used in this technical report. It means brain-to-text translation. http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1001251 View in LinkedIn

LOCALIZED WORDS. "As each patient spoke, a computer algorithm learned to associate speech sounds—such as "foh", "net", and "ik"—with different firing patterns in the brain cells. Eventually it learned to read the brain cells well enough that it could guess which sound they were producing with up to 75 percent accuracy." http://www.popsci.com/mind-reading-technology-turns-thoughts-text View in LinkedIn

SMALL FOOTNOTE. "In this case, the patients were already undergoing an epilepsy procedure where the skull is popped open and an electrode grid is placed on the brain to map areas where neurons are misfiring." These scientists made important findings on these patients undergoing surgery. http://www.popsci.com/mind-reading-technology-turns-thoughts-text View in LinkedIn
