An AI “mind-reading” tool can reconstruct what you’re looking at based on a brain scan

AI Summary

Researchers have developed an AI tool that uses brain scans to infer what a person is viewing and generate a corresponding image. The system can also predict brain activity from visual input, highlighting emerging applications of AI and neuroimaging.

A new AI tool can guess what you’re looking at just by analyzing your brain scans—and recreate that image with remarkable precision. It can go the other way too, and predict a person’s brain activity based on what they’re looking at.  In the image above, for example, the left-hand image of each pair is what…
