Mind reading: Scientists reconstruct letters from brain scan data

RT:
Dutch scientists have made another step towards reading people’s minds by creating a computer program, which uses brain scans to decode what a person is looking at.
A team from Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands was able to extract information from the human brain by applying a combination of high-resolution MRI, shape recognition software and computational modeling.

During the tests the Dutch researchers showed participants letters B, R, A, I, N and S on screen and were able to identify exactly when, during the scan, a person was looking at each of those letter.
