Expanding into real-time fMRI decoding could open new possibilities for neuroprosthetics, mental state tracking, and brain-computer interfaces. More information: Weikang Qiu et al, MindLLM ...

Sam Nastase, a researcher and lecturer at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute who was not involved in the research, says using fMRI recordings for this type of brain decoding is “mind blowing,” since ...

The variability in brain structures and activation patterns between people makes it challenging to develop a universal decoding model. MindLLM tackles these challenges head-on. It consists of two main ...

Prior efforts to create technology that can monitor brain waves and decode ... into individual words using fMRI was impractical, the researchers designed a decoding device that sought to gain ...

Recently, my colleagues and I published a study on decoding language from brain recordings made using functional MRI. Brain decoders are being developed to help restore communication to people who ...

Both fMRI machine development and the collection of data pose obstacles to anyone studying brain decoding. “It’s the same as going to Xerox PARC in the 1970s and saying, ‘Oh, look ...

Currently, decoding language from neural activity relies mainly on invasive brain-computer interfaces that require surgical implants. The researchers trained the decoder by recording fMRI data ...

Functional MRI (fMRI) offers an in vivo means to investigate brain function during complex cognitive processes such as memory encoding and retrieval. Owing to the neuropathological burden in the ...

But decoding entire words and phrases is a more imposing challenge. The biggest roadblock is fMRI itself, which doesn’t directly measure the brain’s rapid firing of neurons but instead tracks ...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI ... no existing AI model would have enough data to start decoding your brain activity. Even with those data, AI models are only good at tasks ...

Various groups have demonstrated the ability to decode certain kinds of thoughts, particularly what people are looking at, based on functional MRI brain ... of the brain play. But decoding complex ...
