An AI “mind-reading” tool can reconstruct what you’re looking at based on a brain scan

A new AI tool can guess what you’re looking at just by analyzing your brain scans—and recreate that image with remarkable precision. It can go the other way too, and predict a person’s brain activity based on what they’re looking at. In the image above, for example, the left-hand image of each pair is what the user actually saw—and its right-hand counterpart is what the model recreated based on the brain scan.
