 Reading a brain with a machine to get the information in it has been the stuff of sci-fi for years. Now, scientists at UC Berkeley's Gallant Lab have demonstrated that it's possible. The scientists used functional magnetic resonance imaging to reconstruct movies subjects watched by reading their brain activity. The process involved measuring brain activity in the part of the brain governing vision when the subject watched a selected set of movies.
