UC Berkeley Researchers construct images from brain waves.

[Jase]

The geniuses at UC Berkeley have come up with a way to turn brain wave scans into actual images using fMRI software.

The technique works by feeding human subjects two hours of movie clips, then analyzing how each subject's brain responds to the content onscreen in each clip.

Then, researchers fed their computer program 18 million one-second YouTube clips to try and create a relationship between specific shapes and specific brain waves.

Once the 18 million second analysis is complete, the computer is then programmed to display what it "thinks" a person's brain is seeing, solely based on their brainwaves.

I see this, like all things, having wonderful applications, money making applications, and really nasty applications.

Kudos!

I wonder how many pictures of boobs they had to cut out of the men's thoughts when they were making the video.

I'm not sure I buy it. I would like to know more about how the experiments were conducted on how the results (images) were obtained. This smells of artistic interpretation.
