that is pretty cool

Answer 25

While it's a cool concept, i think you're misinterpreting what they're claiming. They dont "extract" images from your dreams, but correlate brain activity patterns obtained prior (when the subject was looking at certain images). Thanks for posting this nonetheless!

Answer 26

The word 'extract' is exactly given in today's Daily newspaper so i just EXTRACTED from it..:)

Answer 27

hmmm i think that's just sensationalist writing, is says in the article you posted,

"have built a ‘dream-reading’ machine that has been able to loosely predict the images that sleeping subjects have seen"

Answer 30

@shrutipande9 Will it look colourful, if we create a colourful GK Page for OS ! @aaronq All Opinions are welcome !

Answer 31

thats a really nice idea @koikkara...OS has been thinking about this and would definitely come up with something like this soon hopefully....but dont use this thread to post ur feedback...do it in d feedback section

Answer 32

They don't have any clue as to what the image a person is dreaming of actually looks like. It is as @aaronq described. They simply attempt to correlate brain activity when observing visual stimuli while conscience with brain activity during dreams. This is not that surprising as we do know a bit about what part of the brain deals with what (like math, language, walking, etc).
