Researchers from the UT Austin have created a mind-reading AI system that accurately translates images of a person’s brain activity into a continuous stream of text, with potential applications for people who are conscious but unable to speak,

​In the past, “mind reading” systems have been able to guess a number, but deeper thoughts have been beyond the technology’s reach. Now, a team from Carnegie Mellon University has developed a way to accurately read more complex concepts from a brain scan, and even piece together entire sentences.

A criminal who knew what they were doing was wrong faces harsher penalties than someone who was acting recklessly, but it's hard to know where that line is. In a move that could help clear things up, neuroscientists have found that brain imaging techniques can tell the difference.

A recent study at the University of British Columbia found that our brains are much more active when we daydream than previously thought.
