Scientists hope it could be used to reconstruct a person’s inner thoughts, mental images, or even dreams.

It can go the other way, too, and predict a person’s brain activity based on what they’re looking at.  In the image above, for example, the left-hand image of each pair is what the user actually saw—and its right-hand counterpart is what the model reconstructed from the brain scan.   Michal Irani, who developed the tool with her colleagues at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, hopes her “mind-reading” tool will ultimately reveal more about how the brain works, and could perhaps be used to help locked-in people communicate, or allow scientists to re-create the content of dreams.  Judy Illes, a neuroethicist and professor of neurology at the University of British Columbia in Canada, who was not involved in the research, describes the work as “magnificent.” “The idea [of using this approach] to help people with neurologic conditions … therapeutically is tremendously exciting,” she says.

Eight more companies objected to trading on the planned OKX-ICE venue, while Nasdaq has separately said it would opt out under the SEC’s framework.
