Artificial Intelligence Technology that can read your mind

Science fiction is becoming a reality as Japanese scientists reach new heights in Artificial Intelligence, announcing a program capable of "mind reading" through recreated images one pixel at a time. The program, developed by a team of experts from the University of Kyoto, is based on a neural network system, decoding brain activity and reproducing images presented to test subjects. Photos of stained glass windows, owls, aircrafts and red post boxes were presented to three volunteers. FMRI scans were then used to measure the information, analyzing electrical activity as well as the variants of blood flow to the brain. The results varied according to its volunteers, researchers said, but the majority showed an astounding level of accuracy recreating the objects as well as others imagined by test subjects such as bowling balls, leopards, goldfish and swans.
