Chapter 6 : The MIND-BODY Problem

DINREADING MINDS - A brain as the mind and thoughts and feelings as physical activities in the brain

Title Reading Minds

Do you see what I see? Researchers develop mind-reading algorithm to reconstruct what we perceive . A new technique developed by neuroscientists at U of T Scarborough can, for the first time, reconstruct images of what people perceive based on their brain activity gathered by EEG.
