Excerpts: It is hoped the mind-reading machine, which can forecast the activity
patterns a brain will create for a specific word, will offer a better
understanding of how and where the brain stores information and even lead to
improved treatments for language disorders and learning disabilities.
Researchers used nine volunteers to train the computer. They were given 58 words
and asked to think about the meaning and properties of the words. Brain scans
taken when the users were thinking about the different words were then captured
using magnetic resonance imaging, which identifies real-time brain activity.
