Brain fMRIScientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a way to extract visual stimuli from brain signals. A new computational model was created that uses functional MRI (fMRI) data to see what’s going on in an individual’s visual cortex - the part of their brain that processes visual stimuli.
