A Computer Predicts Your Thoughts, Creating Images Based on Them

A Computer Predicts Your Thoughts, Creating Images Based on Them

Researchers at the University of Helsinki have developed a technique in which a computer model visualizes perception by monitoring the signals of the human brain. In a way, it is as if the computer tries to imagine what a human is thinking. As a result of this imagery, the computer is capable of producing completely … Read more
