Holy Cow! Recording images from a cat's brain????
This was back in 1999. How did I miss this? Does anyone know if this technology has progressed since then? Seems legit but sounds like SciFi...
http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/99legacy/10-15-1999.html Here is a blurb from the press release... The team recorded signals from a total of 177 cells in the lateral geniculate nucleus - a part of the brain's thalamus that processes visual signals from the eye - as they played a digitized movie of indoor and outdoor scenes for the cat. Using simple mathematical filters, the researchers decoded the signals to generate a movie of what the cat actually saw. The reconstructed movie turned out to be amazingly faithful to the original.
