This is probably the most unbelievable thing I've seen so far regarding the brain. I seriously would not have expected that outcome.The part I'm confused about is how they mapped the 18 million seconds of youtube clips. The three co authors would had to have spent 3 months sitting in an MRI machine watching youtube.

Watching dreams after they've happened could be one of the weirdest tv shows ever. Watching nightmares (to the person who had them) could be terrifying.

Just don't get stuck in limbo.

the dream is collasping

The clips they showed with the story don't really look that similar to me.

^considering this is a first step, and some people thought this was impossible, and this was unfathomable a few years ago, those pictures are god dawned amazing. Da Vinci couldn't have done better himself.

Here is the video

^^^Seriously? When there was a face, you see a face that is roughly the same size, orientation, and position. Seems eerily accurate to me.I would guess that faces are easy to reconstruct using this method because we have facial recognition is like built in.

Japs did something similar in 2008, albeit only with simple letters and symbols:message_topic.aspx?topic=551869My post in the linked thread still expresses how I feel about this

You do know this is just in its infancy and it's only going to get better?I mean... it's in its 100 baud modem phase right now. Give it time.

This is from 1.5 years ago and I find this to be a bit cooler:http://www.livescience.com/6205-scientists-read-minds-brain-scans.html

^^^^Dear lord. Did you not watch the video? That part is pretty much the most poorly reconstructed clip in the whole damn thing.[Edited on September 27, 2011 at 8:37 AM. Reason : ^]
9/27/2011 8:36:55 AM
Yeah, and even the reconstruction of that bird in motion was impressive. It's just that particular frame by itself that doesn't look like much.

I'd be interested in seeing what the dreams look like of people that have been blind since birth[Edited on September 28, 2011 at 9:56 AM. Reason : could be dark with just sounds if they ever extract audio]

after seeing the clip, i'm much less impressed
10/11/2011 9:35:13 AM
why exactly? I thought it was extremely impressive.

You could make a pretty awesome thriller like Minority Report + Inception using this research alone.And yet, if we actually had all the technology in Minority Report, the response from this thread would surely be "meh."[Edited on October 11, 2011 at 10:34 AM. Reason : Worst brain interface ever.]

I think it's amazing given we're not 500 years off from burning people for being witches.

^^It reminds me of a quote I recently read out of my AI book. It was something like this:"Believing that writing these types of programs will bring us closer to real artificial intelligence is like believing that someone climbing a tree is making progress toward reaching the moon."
