Blab [Interview] “Why Do Illusions Occur? Can We Move Objects with Brain Waves? Exploring the Mysteries and Untapped Potential of the Brain” The third installment of the Neurodiversity Project Interview Series features Mr. Kashiwoka and Mr. Nishizutsumi from NICT CiNet, who presented “The ‘Your World’ as Seen by the Brain” and “Brainwave Racing Game” at “The World in Our Minds.”"Why Do Optical Illusions Happen? Can You Move Objects with Brain Waves? Exploring the Brain’s Mysteries and Untapped Potential."
"There’s an experiment where subjects are asked to recall paintings they saw at an art museum while inside an MRI scanner, and researchers measure their brain activity to see if they can reconstruct the paintings. In the most successful cases, they were able to reconstruct about 80 percent of the image." It’s like something out of science fiction, isn’t it?
