This looks like wild sci-fi: A team of researchers say they have used machine-learning to recreate images in our brains, from pictures subjects were looking at to things they remember seeing. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the team said they were able to reconstruct images seen by our brains.

Psychologists from the University of Toronto have created an AI that can essentially read your mind with astonishing accuracy. The algorithm is able to recreate images seen by humans based on their brain activity, as collected using electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors.
First the team fed a neural network huge numbers of pictures of faces, which taught it to spot characteristics and patterns in the photos. After it had learned to distinguish these characteristics it was then taught to match these characteristics with patterns of brain activity recorded in EEG scans, whilst observing the same faces.
“When we see something, our brain creates a mental percept, which is essentially a mental impression of that thing,”
