Neuroscientists at the University of Texas in Austin have figured out a way to translate scans of brain activity into words using the very same artificial intelligence technology that powers the groundbreaking chatbot ChatGPT.
Before entering the fMRI machine, CNN correspondent Donie O'Sullivan was given specialized earphones to listen to an audiobook during his brain scan.
While the technology is still in its infancy and shows great promise, the limitations might be a source of relief to some.
While the technology at the moment only works in very limited cases, that might not always be the case.
“Technology can improve and that could change how well we can decode and change whether decoders require a person’s cooperation.”
