Reconstructing Visual Experiences from Brain Activity Evoked by Natural Movies
http://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822%2811%2900937-7#Summary

This is based on a study by researchers:
Shinji Nishimoto, An T. Vu, Thomas Naselaris, Yuval Benjamini, Bin Yu, Jack L. Gallant

Summary
1) Show video to someone
2) Do lots of maths to it
3) Find youtube which meet the same maths similarities
4) composite the relevant youtubes together to form an new video/image
5) compare image to the original to see how close the composite comes

  • Now we can find out what blind people think of :D

  • @thaaran11 Clever! I keep wondering if they could put my dreams to dodgy visuals, your suggesyion is more far more interesting!

  • PLEASE EXPLAIN?

  • A person was told to watch a movie scene while having thier brain fMRI'd. When the results came back from the fMRI some maths was used to create a lot of variables. They then reconstruct what they think the brain was seeing by using about 1 000 000 youtubes, and applying a weighted version of the ones which emote similar properties. When compiled together they somewhat resemble the movie, proving that they can in fact read what a brain see's.

  • Keep these coming. For some people like me out there, this is one of the most beautiful and singular moments in biology. Please upload more!

  • @AMLASH2 haha sorry guy, this isn't my field at all. I'm very interested in this of course but generally speaking I don't come across it much. I threw this up on youtube to repost on a forum to generate discussion. I read the whole paper and tried to summarise it into expansive dot points but it requires a lot of knowledge that I don't have. Needless to say though it's very impressive. My summary of what I believe they did is of course in the description. It's very cool though isn't it?
