Recreate images in thinking through brain capture

Based on parameters based on MRI on the human brain, Cornell scientists can analyze data to reconstruct memories of patients.

But today, these scientists have gone one step further: they can know who you are thinking about, thanks to the analysis of brain activity. Nathan Spreng, the researcher behind the project, explained:

"We are trying to understand the physical mechanisms that make up each person's mental world, and part of it is how we retain the image of others in our minds."

Human brain MRI, data analysis can recreate memories of patients

Spreng's team described four imaginary characters (with their own personalities and characteristics) with 19 volunteers. Then, they took MRI on the volunteers' brains, when volunteers were asked how the imaginary characters would behave in some situations.

Scientists later discovered that each imaginative character activated some specific activity in the prefrontal cortex - demonstrating that guessing what each volunteer was thinking of which imaginative character was based It is possible on the brain's activities. Spreng explained:

"The scope of this is extremely impressive if you think about all the people you have met and can remember. Each person can leave a personal image that symbolizes them in your brain. Image imagery This representation is changed when we share experiences together, and affect our fantasies about the future. "

This is a great innovation. But be careful with your thoughts every time you go to the hospital.
