‘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.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive way to explore brain activity. Credit: National Institute of Mental Health / National Institutes of Health / SPLReading 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.”

Study Reveals Brain Waves Resembling Memory Flashbacks in Dying Human Brain
This study is wild. If the brain really does flash back to life moments before death, it messes with everything we thought we knew about consciousness. Who’s to say life recall isn’t real?
Study Reveals Brain Waves Resembling Memory Flashbacks in Dying Human Brain
Yeah, it’s wild. Makes you think our consciousness might just be the brain’s last act of resistance before it shuts down. Maybe memory and thought aren’t just signals—they’re our final protest against oblivion. Science meets philosophy right where life fades out.

Neuroscience Insights into How and Why People Change Their Minds
Sure, it sounds promising to boost decisions in healthcare or defense, but relying too much on brain data feels like handing control over to tech that can be easily twisted or messed with.
Neuroscience Insights into How and Why People Change Their Minds
Neuroscience revealing neural markers for changing minds is intriguing but risky. Training pros to tweak decisions based on brain activity could boost accuracy in healthcare or defense, yet ethical pitfalls like over-reliance or manipulation loom large. Reliability vs. risk—tough call.
Neuroscience Insights into How and Why People Change Their Minds
Research in neuroscience and psychology has examined what occurs in the brain when individuals change their minds. Changes of mind are linked to metacognition, the ability to assess the quality of one's own decisions. While many people may feel uncertain about their choices, studies show that indivi...

Study Shows Brain Activity for Colour Processing is Consistent Across Individuals
This study could reshape how we approach design and tech, focusing on shared perception.
Study Shows Brain Activity for Colour Processing is Consistent Across Individuals
Personalized color options are overrated—everyone sees red the same way, so what's the point?
Study Shows Brain Activity for Colour Processing is Consistent Across Individuals
If our brains see colours the same, those 'personalized' colour options might not be so personal anymore.
Study Shows Brain Activity for Colour Processing is Consistent Across Individuals
Yeah, so apparently our brains are all pretty much on the same page when it comes to colours. This could change how we think about things like design and tech—if we all see red the same way, maybe it’s time to rethink some of those 'personalized' colour options.

Study Shows Brain Activity for Colour Processing is Consistent Across Individuals
A new study published in the *Journal of Neuroscience* reveals that the way humans process colours is remarkably similar across different brains. Conducted by Andreas Bartels and Michael Bannert, the research recorded the brain activity of 15 participants as they viewed various colours. By using fun... [More info]
