The innovation is reportedly based on technology similar to the popular chatbot ChatGPT. Thus, unlike previous approaches, this AI does not require the use of electrodes to collect data on brain activity.
Instead, it is sufficient to use images obtained with a conventional magnetic resonance imaging scanner.
True, tomography has its drawbacks – it can only take a photo every 10 seconds. This significantly limits the number of words a person can read or speak in that amount of time. This is why scientists have implemented a language converter model similar to ChatGPT.
A team of researchers trained a neural network on fMRI data from three volunteers and monitored their brain activity while listening to audiobooks for 16 hours. As a result, the AI learned to reconstruct the meaning of what it heard rather than reproduce the text exactly.
Thus, the phrase “I haven’t got my driver’s license yet” has been reinstated as “hasn’t started learning to drive yet”.
