🧠 Demis Hassabis says AI is getting surprisingly good at reconstructing what people see in their minds and even their dreams. According to the Google DeepMind CEO, neuroscientists are already combining brain scans with AI models to recreate images that people are imagining. A person thinks of an image inside an fMRI scanner, AI decodes the brain activity, reconstructs the visual, and asks if it matches what they had in mind. It isn’t perfect mind reading but it’s getting remarkably close. This isn’t just a futuristic idea either. In 2025, researchers at Fudan University introduced Neuropictor, a model that reconstructed snapshots from sleeping participants’ dreams using brain scans and then stitched them into video with AI. Hassabis says work like this builds on decades of neuroscience research, including his own PhD, which found that memory and imagination rely on many of the same brain systems. His prediction? Sci-fi-style brain interfaces that can visualize thoughts could arrive within the next few years. @aipost 🏴
