Films will be created by the power of thought
Researchers at the University of California conducted a unique experiment using movie trailers, as a result of which they managed to record and reproduce images that appear in the human brain. This is reported by the publication Current Biology. The participants were shown videos, then modified magnetic resonance scanners recorded the activity of their brain, and then special software interpreted these recordings, creating a video sequence based on them. The results were very impressive. In addition to medicine, the technologies developed can be applied in other areas, for example, in cinema. If in the near future talented moviemakers will be able to transfer their fantasies directly to electronic media, then there will be no need to build expensive decorations, create special effects and use complex movieing and editing complexes. A video illustrating the operation of the system can be viewed by this link. Naturally, the recorded images are still very far from perfect, but progress in research on the human brain is quite obvious. The Topic of Article: Films will be created by the power of thought. |
