Artificial Intelligence can decode thoughts

It is capable of replicating images of faces seen or imagined by people

French researchers have used Artificial Intelligence to decode thoughts and replicate in an artificial neural network the faces that people saw or imagined while their brains were observed with magnetic resonance imaging.

French researchers have used Artificial Intelligence to decode thoughts and replicate in an artificial neural network the faces that people saw or imagined while their brains were observed with magnetic resonance imaging.

Researchers from the Institute of Biological Sciences of the University of Toulouse (France) have used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to decipher the brain activity recorded in functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) and reconstructed those images, seen or imagined by people, in an artificial neural network.

They used an AI technique known as deep learning to train a network of artificial neurons to represent more than 200,000 faces of a celebrity database.

Deep learning is a technique that imitates the way of human learning using algorithms. It develops another form of artificial intelligence known as machine learning as it incorporates complexity into mechanized learning.
