Doing so, says Sani, the study's first author, the algorithm discovered the common patterns between the brain and behavioral signals and was also much better able to decode the behavior ...

Using that information, they could correlate the reported dream images – everything from ice picks to keys to statues – to train the algorithm. Researchers are trying to decode dreams by ...

The method however, does decode language in real-time. The method works by feeding functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to the algorithm, which then reconstructs arbitrary stimuli that ...

The algorithm could one day decode internal mental states like pain or mood. This capability could revolutionize mental health treatment by providing real-time feedback on a patient's symptom states.

But remarkably, the study authors found that they could still use this imperfect proxy measure to decode the semantic ... then fed these scans to a computer algorithm that they called a "decoder ...
