      Is there a bit more context where to read more about this and the whole technique and experiment

    2. That’s so cool, do they decode information from the activity of the visual cortex? It’s almost scary

    3. pretty soon they will be able to read your thoughts in real-time. Maybe record your dreams, etc.

    4. I’d like to see how this teat would turn out with people like me that have aphantasia

    5. Reverse engineering this we might be able to project images into our brains.

      Both cool and scary af

    6. DARPA/the CIA is already using a slightly advanced version of this for interrogation techniques

      Is it really worth it tho?
      “An fMRI machine’s price varies wildly, from around $200,000 for refurbished lower-end models to over $1 million”(Google Result)

    8. Show me the part where it takes a digital image that you see and somehow interprets it into another blurry digital image. How was it able to do this by looking at images of my brain. I’ve had an mri. You get pictures of my brain. And now you saying you can get blurry images of my imagination from those pictures of my head. Its missing a big step. the movie Inception was not a documentary

      Oh my gosh, I hope they’ll be able to visualize what someone is dreaming someday! I have dreams of the future and it would be awesome to have a “recording” to prove it one day.

      So wee getting closer to mind reading? Sounds like fun and totally not like a worse form of dystopian surveilance state.

      Lost my optimism some years ago
