#mind-reading — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

Scientists have invented a mind-reading device that can predict your preconscious #thoughts, so now even your unformed ideas can be judged 😱. Meanwhile, Nature's #website is so broken it can't even handle CSS, making it the perfect metaphor for this brave new world of #surveillance 🙄.

‘Mind-captioning’ AI decodes brain activity to turn thoughts into text

A non-invasive imaging technique can translate scenes in your head into sentences. It could help to reveal how the brain interprets the world.

Reading a person’s mind using a recording of their brain activity sounds futuristic, but it’s now one step closer to reality. A new technique called ‘mind captioning’ generates descriptive sentences of what a person is seeing or picturing in their mind using a read-out of their brain activity, with impressive accuracy.

The technique, described in a paper published today in Science Advances1, also offers clues for how the brain represents the world before thoughts are put into words. And it might be able to help people with language difficulties, such as those caused by strokes, to better communicate.

The model predicts what a person is looking at “with a lot of detail”, says Alex Huth, a computational neuroscientist at the University of California, Berkeley. “This is hard to do. It’s surprising you can get that much detail.”

🧠 #Mind reading – soon to be #reality? 🩻

But, as Gerhard Roth emphasizes in our #Zoomposium: This is still only possible under laboratory conditions. Because every #brain creates its own world of consciousness.

#ScienceFiction? Maybe not for much longer ...? 🤔

🤔 Oh joy, a #gadget that reads your mind—because who doesn't want their inner monologue broadcasted to the cloud? 🤖 Finally, a device that listens to the things you *almost* say, because silent judgments need their own social media platform too. 🎉

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

If we were all given by magic the power to read each other’s thoughts I suppose the first effect would be that almost all friendships would be dissolved.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 8 “Persecution Mania” (1930)

I finally broke and made a Linux laptop (well, two old Chromebooks) because it's all that will run on them. I needed a portable thing to fix things at people's houses.

But this isn't a post about Linux - I am just amused at this, which showed up in my YouTube recommendations a few minutes after deciding to do that, because apparently, YouTube now reads my mind for recommendations.
