Scientists have made great progress to decode thoughts with artificial intelligence. In this video I summarize the most exciting recent developments.

The first paper about inferring the meaning of nouns is:

Mitchell et el
"Predicting Human Brain Activity Associated with the Meanings of Nouns"
Science, 1191-1195 (2008)
https://www.science.org/doi/10.....1126/science.115287

The paper about extracting speech from brain readings is:

Anumanchipalli, Chartier, & Chang
"Speech synthesis from neural decoding of spoken sentences"
Nature 568, 493–498 (2019)
https://www.science.org/doi/10.....1126/science.115287

There are more examples of the reconstructed sentences here:

The paper about extracting images from brain readings is:
Shen et al
PLoS Comput Biol. 15(1): e1006633 (2019)
https://journals.plos.org/plos....compbiol/article?id=

And the brain to text paper using handwriting is:

Willett et al
High-performance brain-to-text communication via handwriting
Nature 593, 249–254 (2021)
