20 Amazing Futuristic Technologies that will give you glimpse of our Lives In Next 30 Years
19. You might be able to record your dreams
Scientists have managed to reconstruct YouTube videos by scanning the visual centers of the brains of the person watching them. In the future the technology would be advanced enough to be able to record dreams.
The brains of three of the team members who are part of the project were scanned using fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) while they were watching video clips on YouTube. They then interpreted the data using a mathematical model that acted as a “brain-movie dictionary”. The dictionary later reconstructs what the volunteers saw by scanning random clips and find the ones that match the burst of brain activity. Though the reconstructions are anything but clear, the scientists hope that in future it might be possible to do it better.
