@essemmetv Maybe not. The visual cortex, which they are scanning, doesn't "see" the dreams. If you remember yourself waking up during REM phase, you might have noticed that your "dream image" isn't real, it's like an overlay above the usual black background with flashing dots, which you see with your eyes closed. It was there all the time, you just stopped noticing it, distracted by a false vision. Despite of that, I'm admired by japanese scientists. They don't afraid to explore the unknown.
This is amazing, when the technology gets further this will have so many implications! Have you ever imagined something almost unimaginable, and you lack the artistic skills or linguistic skills to explain or draw it? Soon enough that won't be a problem, and if someone has raped someone, or robbed someone, or maybe even murdered someone, we'll be able to express their face through this technology :D Technology amazes me!!
Though I didn't fully read the article, they likely looked at fmri data, used multiple voxel (voxel being a "set" of data corresponding to a part of the brain in the fmri) and then passed it through a network which attempted to reconstruct the image, which appears uses statistics and weights to combine "decoders". To me it appears this method might be cumbersome to expand further.
Also, it would be interesting to see effects of imagining instead of seeing.
When this technology becomes accurate, we might be able to prove someone is a paedophile. The problem is that thought privacy might be infringed (a bit like when cops listen to phone calls).
it seems like they actually could filter out noise by comparing current and previous frames and removing unmatching pixels
then the picture would be almost perfect

apparently this technology may be leading us to visualize our dreams. and maybe we could also see what a patients sees when he dies?

@Hallo2244 apparently someone doesn't want you to ever use it, because they all worry about ethical things.
I really want to see my thoughts on a computer screen. but apparently someone else doesn't want me to be able to do that.

Is it possible to get the full pdf of the test results?I know that you can buy it,but if there is any other way,that would be great :)
