Generating Text From Functional Brain Images

Posted by samzenpus on from the mind-reader dept.

Med-trump writes "Can you get a text output of your thoughts? Princeton scientists show that it is possible to generate text about the mental content reflected in brain images. The paper published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience describe the functional magnetic resonance imaging method used to identify areas of the brain activated when study participants thought about physical objects such as a carrot, a horse or a house."

    I was walking over to an ATM machine the other day, when I realized that many other people have the same PIN number as me. I thought "they should have a personalized PIN number." Also, my bank still uses those old CRT tubes and they are hard to read, so they really need to upgrade the whole thing. Anyway I went into the bank to sit and talk to a representative about this, and I was reading a DC comic, and the light next to me was flickering. Damn that AC current! I took out my laptop, since I wanted to learn more about CSS style sheets. (Are they under the GPL license btw ?) After about 5 minutes of reading I had a headache - I felt like an ICBM missile had hit my head! Or maybe it was from my LCD display. What I need is a vacation I thought - so I went home and started to pack my SCUBA apparatus.

      Try to relax. Drive your Jeep home, and open up the Fridge. Find some leftover meat and remove the Cellophane. Throw some veggies in the Cuisinart, chop them up, and put that and the meat into a Crock-Pot. Grab some Coke and an Aspirin and head over to the Jacuzzi. Be careful not to trip on the kid's Frisbee or Hula-Hoop. Take a nice long soak. Tomorrow you can load the Winnebago up with your Aqualungs, and throw a Zodiac on top. Take along a Thermos full of coffee and some Styrofoam cups. You may also want to carry a Ziploc full of Band-aids and Q-Tips (for emergencies). Also, grab a Tupperware full of that stew you made earlier.

      Either that, or go to a bar for some Jell-O shots.
