Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence that can reproduce what you think as a picture by simply analyzing the signals generated in the visual cortex of the brain.
Rapidly developing artificial intelligence technologies gained great popularity especially this year. Like DALL-2 and Midjourney We even started to convert the texts we wrote with artificial intelligence into visuals. But recently, an artificial intelligence was announced that takes it one step further.
Scientists from Singapore, Hong Kong and Stanford Universities have developed an artificial intelligence with enormous use potential. Artificial intelligence analyzes the signals generated in your brain when you see something, and then it’s trying to reproduce what you see. By using only your brain signals… In other words, it actually paints the image you create in your brain by thinking…
How does artificial intelligence work?
In the research they shared on November 13, scientists explained the working principle of artificial intelligence and how successful it was. Artificial intelligence, in the simplest and summary way, works like this:
- detecting and following signals in your brain when you see something ‘fMRI’ data being received. Let us remind you that these data are used in areas such as neuromarketing today.
- The data is processed by artificial intelligence. So what your brain sees, simply by examining the signals in your brain is estimated.
- The picture you see, at least for now with close resemblance being rebuilt.
Some of the images that artificial intelligence tried to reproduce and revealed (Left: Image shown to human, Right: produced by artificial intelligence)
As you can see from the examples above, artificial intelligence actually has not achieved great success at the moment. But even the first version of artificial intelligence 66% in semantic mapping, 41% success in rendering quality achieved.
But this artificial intelligence and the most important result of the research, not interfered withwas to show that even pure data from the brain can be used to reconstruct a picture we see. This was possible for the first time in history.
So our mind can be literally read and recorded: what does that mean?
The developed artificial intelligence, in the simplest sense, is what we see while we sleep. even dreams that we can watch later, or see a part of means. Because when we dream, the visual cortex of our brain works and signals are formed in the brain.
The recording of these signals and their processing by artificial intelligence is a memory we see in our dreams. Let’s recreate concretely can provide.
