Brain Imaging Reveals the Movies in Our Minds

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BERKELEY, Calif., Sept. 27, 2011 — A unique blend of brain imaging and computer simulation demonstrated at the University of California has shown the potential for literally recording and displaying one’s thoughts and dreams. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and computational models, the researchers decoded and reconstructed people’s dynamic visual experiences — in this case, watching Hollywood movie trailers. As yet, the technology can reconstruct only movie clips people have already viewed. However, it may pave the way for reproducing the images inside our heads that no one...Read full article

    coma
    A lens aberration, resulting from different magnifications in the various lens zones, that occurs in that part of the image field that is some distance from the principal axis of the system. Extra-axial object points appear as short cometlike images with the brighter small head toward the center of the field (positive coma) or away from the center (negative coma).
