Researchers Yu Takagi and Shinji Nishimoto recently announced that their paper “High-resolution image reconstruction with latent diffusion models from human brain activity” had been accepted at an international scientific conference (CVPR 2023). The paper explains how they were able to take brain imaging data acquired in an MRI machine and reconstruct the specific image the participant was viewing, using the brain imaging signals collected. This breakthrough has been dubbed “mind-reading AI” and has potential applications in the fields of augmented reality, virtual reality, and medical diagnosis.
