Proof scientists can now read your MIND: AI turns people's thoughts into images with 80% accuracy (wireless, computer)

It's actually closer to 100% but when they scanned Biden it just showed a complete blank so it skewed their results(they couldn't accept it).

Always has to be at least one to ruin a fun thread with nasty political comments.

They can develop technology to read our minds but no cure for cancer. Good to see where their priorities are.

How else will they know what ads to show you?

The Dept. of Pre-crime is coming.

It was funny -- get over yourself.

These are not the only researchers in the world.

It will probably be used extensively in law enforcement to get confessions and will replace polygraph tests.

They are not turning thoughts into images, they used pre-recorded MRI brain scans from people that looked at the test images.

They also individually trained the model for each of the 4 subjects data that they used.

It’s more like “eye reading” then mind reading.

They also inject textual semantic information into the model as part of producing the output image.

That is the "learning" for AI. It's like teaching AI the alphabet

Artificial intelligence can create images based on text prompts, but scientists unveiled a gallery of pictures the technology produces by reading brain activity.
The new AI-powered algorithm reconstructed around 1,000 images, including a teddy bear and an airplane, from these brain scans with 80 percent accuracy.
Researchers from Osaka University used the popular Stable Diffusion model, included in OpenAI's DALL-E 2, which can create any imagery based on text inputs

Maybe this is possible once the computer program has built up a detailed database from multiple scans of the same person's brain looking at the same material for weeks. But not everyone's brain is the same. Not everyone thinks of the same things when looking at a photo, or thinking about a subject.

This experiment most likely shows a possible future application, where we extensively train a computer program for one specific individual, that it may be able to help the disabled.

I do not buy into the notion that they can program the computer to work for Sally form Rhode Island, and then Sean from Ireland, and then it also works for Zhang in China.

There was a time when voice recognition didn't work either. Now you can speak commands and queries into the voice remote from your cable box to find a show to watch. Never say never.
