Scientists from Osaka University, Japan have discovered a way to use artificial intelligence (AI) to read our minds – quite literally. By combining magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with AI technology, the researchers were able to recreate visual images directly from human brain activity. What’s more, by using widely available Stable Diffusion technology, they were able to do so at a very low cost and with relatively little effort compared to other recent attempts to do this. The researchers’ findings are reported in a pre-print study. Although researchers had already found ways to convert neural imaging into visual representations, complex and
