Its not an exact science, but the AI did get close.
Some people use different definitions of mind reading, but certainly, thats getting close, Kuhl told Vox.
Kuhls method involves putting test participants in an MRI who are then shown several hundred faces.
They covered everything from skin tone to eye position.
The AI was put to the test with a few hundred examples incorporated into its algorithm.
The resulting images have a dream-like quality, with blurred edges and shifts in skin tone.
The images look like the kind of vague renderings a person might see in their own brain.
Is this person happy or sad?
and Is their skin colour light or dark?
To a degree greater than chance, the responses checked out.
These basic details of the faces can be gleaned from mind reading.
I dont want to put a cap on it, Kuhl said.
We can do better.
He also made it clear that his machines cant read peoples minds without their cooperation.
You need someone to play ball, Kuhl said.
The study has been published inThe Journal of Neuroscience.
