AI can create images based on pictures you are looking at

Japanese scientists have create a creepy machine that can peer into your mind's eye with incredible accuracy. The AI can study electrical signals in the brain to work out exactly what images someone is looking at, and even thinking about. The technique could theoretically be used to create footage of daydreams and to help patients in permanent vegetative states to communicate with their loved ones. Scientists in Japan have developed an AI that can decode patterns in the brain to recreate what a person is seeing or imagining. The breakthrough relies on neural networks, which try to simulate the way the brain works in order to learn.
