Brain images to computer

Mad Science: Technology Puts Images from Your Brain onto a Computer

Japanese scientists have unveiled a device that can pluck images out of your brain and recreate them on a computer screen.

Using
an fMRI brain scanner, researchers read electrical signals coming from
people's brains while they thought about letters in the word "neuron."
The research team led by Yukiyaso Kamitani at ATR Computational
Neuroscience Labs has designed software that can process the output of
the fMRI and search for signals associated with vision. (Many of the
same parts of the brain that process images in the real world are also
used to create images in your mind's eye.)

Once they'd processed the signals they received, researchers were
able to recreate the word "neuron" from what they'd picked up in
subject's brains.
