‘Mind-captioning’ AI decodes brain activity to turn thoughts into text – Nature

‘Mind-captioning’ AI decodes brain activity to turn thoughts into text

A non-invasive imaging technique can translate scenes in your head into sentences. It could help to reveal how the brain interprets the world.

By Max Kozlov

Reading a person’s mind using a recording of their brain activity sounds futuristic, but it’s now one step closer to reality. A new technique called ‘mind captioning’ generates descriptive sentences of what a person is seeing or picturing in their mind using a read-out of their brain activity, with impressive accuracy.

The technique, described in a paper published today in Science Advances1, also offers clues for how the brain represents the world before thoughts are put into words. And it might be able to help people with language difficulties, such as those caused by strokes, to better communicate.

The model predicts what a person is looking at “with a lot of detail”, says Alex Huth, a computational neuroscientist at the University of California, Berkeley. “This is hard to do. It’s surprising you can get that much detail.”

A novel reaction involving gaseous alkanes is now online in @SciMag ! 🎉

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aea0783

After a long journey with Pol, Sergio, and Alvaro — under the guidance of Martín Fañanás Mastral — we've unlocked the allylation of C₁–C₄ alkanes using a combination of FeCl₃/collidine

Curious about the chemistry — and the role of collidine 🤐? Have a look at the paper!

Anyone (academic / researcher) had recent experience with submitting to #ScienceAdvances (https://www.science.org/journal/sciadv)? Good or bad?

We submitted there about 3 months ago and heard absolutely nothing since then..

#SciRev does not have many reviews of that journal for 2025: https://scirev.org/reviews/science-advances/
(BTW, please try to comment on your submission experience on there when you can!)

Edit: we got reviews back! It was just radio silence between submission and now, and maybe our submission had been forgotten and they were reminded of it when we emailed, or it just naturally took a while, who knows.
