Fastest-Ever 'Mind Reading' AI Model Can Reconstruct Images From Your Brain
>Scientists have developed an AI model that can “read” a person’s brain activity and reconstruct what they’re looking at with striking speed and accuracy. The astonishing results can be seen above — with the original image that the person sees on the left and the AI’s reconstruction on the right.
>The AI model, which is called Brain-IT, was developed in the lab of Prof. Michal Irani at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Brain-IT has been trained to recognize similar patterns of brain activity that occur in different people when they look at images. Unlike earlier AI models, it can then recreate those images with a high level of accuracy, completing the process in about an hour instead of the several hours previously required.
>The researchers say the technology behind Brain-IT could eventually help people with paralysis communicate and give scientists a more efficient way to study how the brain processes images.
