How close are we to real “mind reading”?
Technically speaking, neuroscientists have been able to read your mind for decades. It’s not easy, mind you. First, when you watch movies or listen to audiobooks, you will have to lie motionless inside the fMRI scanner for perhaps hours.
If you choose to endure claustrophobic hours in the scanner, the software will learn to create a specialized reconstruction of what you were seeing or hearing, by analyzing how blood moves through your brain.
Recently, researchers have deployed generative AI tools like Stable Diffusion and GPT to make reconstructions of movies and podcasts based on neural activity more realistic, if not completely accurate. So how close are we to actual “mind reading”? Read the full story.
