Czech scientist: With the help of AI, we can already record dreams and visualize thoughts – Human – Science and technology

Artificial intelligence associated with EEG allows, for example, to create an image representing the current ideas of a person in the head when monitoring brain waves.

Artificial intelligence can greatly help in the effort to connect the human brain with electronics.

The combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and EEG (electroencephalography) placed on the skull makes it possible to record dreams and visualize thoughts in the form of videos, said founder and director of Respectful AI Alžběta Solarczyk Krausová. He works at the Center for Research on Innovations and Cyber ​​Law (CICeRo) of the Institute of State and Law of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. It focuses on the legal and ethical aspects of artificial intelligence, the connection of technologies with biological life, brain-computer interfaces and robotics.

“We can already get data directly from the brain. Artificial intelligence connected to EEG allows, for example, to create an image representing the current ideas of a person in the head when monitoring brain waves. Of course, it’s not perfectly accurate, but it’s fairly accurate,” explains the Czech scientist. With the help of AI and EEG, for example, scientists managed to reconstruct the music that a person sang in his head. It was a song by the Rolling Stones. “We can record dreams and visualize thoughts in the form of videos – all with an EEG placed on the skull,” he adds.

However, AI can also be used unconventionally – for example, as a sonar using the reflection of Wi-Fi network waves or radio waves. “If you are sitting in a room with the radio playing, the reflection of the waves from the body can tell you the heartbeat and whether you have a heart defect, for example. Artificial intelligence can create completely new and unexpected information,” added Alžběta Krausová.
