The Mechanics of Mind Reading: Scientific American
-
This new, far more sensitive, method, known as multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA), effectively works like a form of AI. The program will learn to link some mental event with a particular pattern of brain activity, and then make predictions about how new brain data relates to mental states, based on these prior lessons. It is these predictions that now allow neuroscientists potentially to read minds.
