The computer that can read your mind: Scientists reveal AI that can recreate exactly what you're looking at

10:07 BST 06 Oct 2026, updated 10:18 BST 06 Oct 2026 By XANTHA LEATHAM, EXECUTIVE SCIENCE EDITOR

The days of keeping your thoughts to yourself may be numbered.

Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking ‘mind-reading’ AI that can recreate images people are looking at simply by analysing their brain scans.

As part of a study, participants were asked to look at photos ranging from images of a baseball game to a dog leaning out of a car and a group trekking across a snowy plain.

The AI programme analysed their brain activity patterns through a scan and reproduced the pictures – which it had never seen before – with remarkable accuracy.

‘There exist nowadays models that translate brain activity into images, and they can even produce impressive reconstructions that preserve the semantic meaning of the image reasonably well,’ Professor Michal Irani, from the Weizmann Institute of Science, said.

‘However, they tend to make mistakes in basic features such as composition and colour.

‘The new model we developed outperforms them in reconstructing both the content of the image and its details.

‘What’s more, while every other model requires dozens of hours of brain scans to learn to “read” a new person, our model needs only one hour.’

To build the system, called Brain-IT, the scientists fed it thousands of brain scans collected while eight volunteers looked at different images.

This allowed the programme to learn how specific patterns of neural activity correspond to colours, shapes and objects.

It was so accurate that it even learned to predict what a brain scan would look like from an image.

By combining data from multiple studies, the researchers identified brain regions that appear to perform similar functions across different people.

For example, one area consistently responded to images of food while another was activated by pictures of sport.

‘During training, the encoder naturally identified 128 functional regions that are shared by all people and perform specific roles in image processing,’ Professor Irani said.

‘Some of them are familiar to neuroscientists, but others are entirely new.

‘For example, we discovered a division of roles within the brain region that processes images of places – the PPA – with one part responding to indoor scenes and another to outdoor scenes.’

When given a new brain scan, the AI was able to generate a remarkably accurate reconstruction of the original image.

Other AI ‘mind reading’ tools require about 40 hours of brain scan data on anyone new before they can be used to predict what a person is seeing.

But this new decoder only needs 60 minutes of data, the team explained.

To prove this, they compared the images generated by Brain-IT when trained with one hour of data compared to the same system trained with 40 hours, and the results are remarkably similar.

They also compared their system’s image recreation results with those of other programmes, revealing it generated much more accurate reconstructions.

Professor Irani’s lab is now working to extend these ‘mind-reading’ methods to the decoding of auditory information as well.

Video could be another frontier.

‘What remains especially challenging is decoding video – for example, during dreaming,’ she explained.

‘Dozens of images change every second, while an fMRI scan takes about two seconds. If we overcome all these obstacles, it’s possible that in the future we may even be able to read dreams.’

The team are also working towards similar systems that decode brain activity recorded using electroencephalography (EEG).

This technique measures the brain's electrical signals through sensors placed on the scalp, sometimes via a cap or even specially designed headphones.

As AI models become more sophisticated, scientists expect it will become increasingly easy to interpret the brain data collected in this way, rather than through MRI scans.

The findings were presented at the Cognitive Computational Neuroscience conference in New York last month.

Cognitive Liberty: Dystopia

5 May 2026

From MK-ULTRA to DYSTOPIA. Welcome to the twisted world of electromagnetic mind control.

These victims will tell you that in addition to the reported symptoms, they are being physically zapped seemingly by directed energy on the inside and outside of the body.

4:42

4 minutes, 42 seconds

These zaps can create pain and limb movement. They are attacks that react in real time to their thoughts.

4:50

4 minutes, 50 seconds

These symptoms are known as electronic harassment.

4:58

4 minutes, 58 seconds

Other victims report that in addition to strange noises, they have roundthe-clock voices talking to them in their head.

5:04

5 minutes, 4 seconds

Voices that react to their thoughts and spoken word.

5:09

5 minutes, 9 seconds

These voices typically say some of the most vile and evil things you could say to a person. Threats of rape, murder,

5:16

5 minutes, 16 seconds

attacks on loved ones, or things to create paranoia, humiliation, and ridicule. Usually a combination of all

5:23

5 minutes, 23 seconds

of the above. These attacks are known as V2K or voice to skull and in many cases seem to be computerenerated.

5:34

5 minutes, 34 seconds

Sometimes these voices will pose as God or some demonic spirit which encourages the victim to carry out acts of violence, murder, or self harm.

5:43

5 minutes, 43 seconds

I woke up Friday, October 5th, 2018 with loud, crystal clearar, audible voices.

5:49

5 minutes, 49 seconds

It's absolute full ownership of your auditory cortex.

5:52

5 minutes, 52 seconds

This technology allows to pipe in voices into one's head. It's like utter paralyzing confusion and terror because

6:01

6 minutes, 1 second

all of a sudden out of nowhere it seems like you're hearing this voice and it's criticizing you and it's making these

6:09

6 minutes, 9 seconds

horrible remarks on you and it comes out of nowhere.

6:12

6 minutes, 12 seconds

It just sounded like having a a cell phone call with somebody but it's directly in your head. At first, it'd make me talk out loud to them as they were talking to my head. And then I realized that they could literally I

6:21

6 minutes, 21 seconds

just have to think and and now we have like conversations completely like in my own head with them, silent, which is bizarre. I was also manipulated by V2K, you know,

6:29

6 minutes, 29 seconds

pretending to be God for me. That's been one of the hardest things I've had to deal with. So, it took a while for me to get my faith back. So, it's very dangerous.

6:36

6 minutes, 36 seconds

The V2K was saying that they were going to kill my mother and my my pets and they were going to kill me and make it

6:44

6 minutes, 44 seconds

look like it was a suicide. They have the ability to hit us with frequencies,

6:48

6 minutes, 48 seconds

anything from, you know, please go kill yourself or you deserve every bit of this.

6:56

6 minutes, 56 seconds

It's very apparent that the voice that you're hearing has no good intentions for you to belittle you, to denigrate

7:03

7 minutes, 3 seconds

you, to hurt you, to terrify you, to make you panic, to make you confused,

7:09

7 minutes, 9 seconds

and you just start to lose your grasp on what's going on. Ultimately, if you can think of the darkest things that you

7:17

7 minutes, 17 seconds

could say to somebody, something that you would never say to somebody, those are the sorts of things that it uses to destroy you.

7:25

7 minutes, 25 seconds

At first, they were they were saying a lot of homosexual things to me. Once that really didn't fly as far as, you know, getting me mad or whatever, they switched over to talking a lot about

7:33

7 minutes, 33 seconds

pedophilia, and that that was happening a lot.

7:35

7 minutes, 35 seconds

Automated torture 24/7, 365. You have to understand that it's just a computer.

7:41

7 minutes, 41 seconds

Whatever you don't like, it will continue doing.

7:43

7 minutes, 43 seconds

It was mocking, deriding, and then they can suggest uh thoughts and actions and emotions. About 6 months of straight-on

7:51

7 minutes, 51 seconds

torture, driving me to like the absolute brinks of of sanity. V2K exploits fears, traumas,

7:58

7 minutes, 58 seconds

insecurities, it deceives, it manipulates. 80% of the time now it is negative,

8:05

8 minutes, 5 seconds

extremely negative, horrific. But then 20% of the time, they'll like have conversations with me. They'll like talk with me. They'll ask me what I think about this.

8:13

8 minutes, 13 seconds

They almost uh attempt to build a relationship with us. And if we don't respond to that relationship, they try to make us feel guilty.

8:21

8 minutes, 21 seconds

I'm sitting here and I'm feeling these frequencies, these energy beams going into my head and pain, you know,

8:28

8 minutes, 28 seconds

pressure. Microwave auditory effect is not limited to producing sensation of sound doesn't mean that it exclusively

8:37

8 minutes, 37 seconds

produces auditory uh sensation. It's not true. It can just produce vibrations. It can produce this um thermomechanical waves.

8:48

8 minutes, 48 seconds

My brain it has been pressurized. So even while I'm sitting here my brain is pressurized. My ears are ringing

handlers. Handler romantic partners six months exactly. They ghost you at six months. Exactly.

0:10

10 seconds

It never lasts longer than six months because they like get attached to you and they make mistakes like protocol. You said a six-month

0:17

17 seconds

protocol. six months pro protocol because after that like they're telling you they're telling you I love you and

0:24

24 seconds

[ __ ] like that and they're lying but after six months they're not lying anymore and they're attached and then they rotate them out and the person they

0:32

32 seconds

rotate in has existed in your life for at least 6 months to 12 months because they line them up like [ __ ] well

0:40

40 seconds

ahead of time like there's always one like six months breakup and then there's one that's been in the queue for over 12

0:47

months and then six months breakup and then there's one that's been in the queue.

1:01

1 minute, 1 second

It's really hard.

1:04

1 minute, 4 seconds

Like people walk up to me in public and I'm like, "Fuck you. Go away. [ __ ] you. I know who you are."

1:14

1 minute, 14 seconds

It makes it really hard. But you can tell a handler from when they

1:20

1 minute, 20 seconds

shut the [ __ ] up because you talk to them about your crazy ass life.

1:28

1 minute, 28 seconds

Your life is crazy. I mean, you have a handler. Your life is crazy. You're into some [ __ ] And you talk to them because they're your significant other. You talk

1:36

1 minute, 36 seconds

to them about [ __ ] and they talk back because they're faking. And you can tell they're a handler by when they shut the [ __ ] up about [ __ ] they can't talk about.

1:46

1 minute, 46 seconds

That's how you can tell when they become silent and they just nod their head like I can't say anything.

1:55

1 minute, 55 seconds

That's a hand.

2:10

2 minutes, 10 seconds

No, that's a handler.

2:13

2 minutes, 13 seconds

Also, handlers will they'll offer you money that never happens. Is a stick

2:22

2 minutes, 22 seconds

is a carrot on a stick to engage you in conversation about your technology by offering you money that they had no intent on ever giving you.

2:36

2 minutes, 36 seconds

Yeah. Dan Cooper, the katana wielding,

2:39

2 minutes, 39 seconds

timetraveling, chess playing super soldier. I had I've talked like I was friends with him for a while, but he was

2:47

2 minutes, 47 seconds

just whatever plant. But he would be like, "Amy, just date the handler. It's okay. You have to date someone."

2:55

2 minutes, 55 seconds

He's like, "They're usually good in bed. Just date them." And I'm like, "Dan,

3:02

3 minutes, 2 seconds

you must not know about like guilty. I'm raping you. Erectile dysfunction.

3:09

3 minutes, 9 seconds

They're not good in bed.

3:12

3 minutes, 12 seconds

They're not good in bed. They're guilty and their dicks don't work because they know they're raping you.

3:18

3 minutes, 18 seconds

He's like, "Just date the handler. It's okay." And I'm like, "You can date the handler."

3:23

3 minutes, 23 seconds

I would like to date someone that's real.

3:26

3 minutes, 26 seconds

3:29

3 minutes, 29 seconds

I've been there, done that. It's really [ __ ] up.

3:33

3 minutes, 33 seconds

Yeah, Jeremy, we're basically dating right now. And uh Y. Yeah.

3:41

3 minutes, 41 seconds

What? He didn't say anything. Yeah,

3:49

3 minutes, 49 seconds

he didn't say anything.

3:56

3 minutes, 56 seconds

She [ __ ] She [ __ ] filed a restraining order and I filed for divorce. It's over.

4:05

4 minutes, 5 seconds

I was like I was like I need a partner that's down the rabbit hole because anyone else is going to think I'm just insane.

4:16

4 minutes, 16 seconds

I need someone that's like an insider down the rabbit hole and back like [ __ ] down the rabbit hole and back insider because anyone else is like you should go to the insane asylum.

4:32

4 minutes, 32 seconds

I've been for the insane asylum, too.

4:34

4 minutes, 34 seconds

That's like a That's a special entryway at the bottom of the uh of the rabbit hole. Oh, dude. It's so bad.

4:41

4 minutes, 41 seconds

It's It's a sharp left at the bottom.

4:44

4 minutes, 44 seconds

You try to date a normie. Try dating a normie. It doesn't work. It doesn't work.

4:51

4 minutes, 51 seconds

Oh man, it's so hard.

4:55

4 minutes, 55 seconds

They just look at you sideways like, "I know you're schizophrenic.

5:00

5 minutes

And you're like, "This is my life. This is my life. This is real." And they're like, "Yeah."

5:18

5 minutes, 18 seconds

I guess she tolerates it obviously.

5:29

5 minutes, 29 seconds

Yeah, I gave up on the normies because they're like,

5:33

5 minutes, 33 seconds

"My mother thinks you're crazy." And it's like, "Your mother doesn't know about the secret space program."
