Self-Taught AR Reads Your Mind

With brain scans as the only knowledge, artificial intelligence has learned how to read the minds of test subjects – and predict the brain activity caused by thoughts.

With a success rate of 87 %, newly developed artificial intelligence can read the minds of test subjects. The scientists behind the experiment used 240 sentences, which were made up of 242 different words. The test subjects read out the sentences, as their brain activity was scanned. The computer was fed 239 scan images and accompanying sentences, and via machine learning, the artificial intelligence learned how to link brain activity and thoughts. Finally, the AR was able to guess the wording/predict the brain activity of the left out sentence:

“The witness shouted during the trial.”
