Machines Reading Your Mind

It seems that scientists have developed a mind-reading technique that allows them to predict the images people are looking at. This is possible due to utilizing scanners to study brain activity. Some analysts have pointed out that this could lead to the possibility of a brain-reading device that could create a picture of a person’s visual experience at any moment in time. While this still sounds like science-fiction it looks like this technique is already a big achievement, as the accuracy of predicting the images that people are looking at was 80% in various tests. For now, it is only possible with still images, but when it comes moving images, scientists still have many years to devise some way to make it work.
