Mind-Reading Technology Speeds Ahead
- By scanning blogs of brain activity, scientists may be able to decode people's thoughts, dreams and intentions.
- The computer program uses the details of a scan to guess what the participant has watched in the past.
- Jack Gallant from the University of California trained the program by showing it patterns of brain activity elicited by a range of images and film clips.
- People around the world use techniques like these to try to decode brain scans and decipher what people are seeing, hearing and feeling, as well as what they remember or even dream about.
- Reports say that these techniques have brought mind reading from the realms of fantasy to fact.
- Companies are starting to pursue brain decoding for market research and lie detection.
- Scientists are using this process to learn about the brain itself.
