This AI finds patterns in visual brain activity and turns them into pictures
Live Science
An AI tool called Brain-IT uses fMRI brain scans to accurately recreate images people viewed by decoding visual cortex activity.Summary
A new artificial intelligence system named Brain-IT can reconstruct images that people have seen by analyzing their brain activity. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure activity in the visual cortex, the system predicts both the broad layout and high-level content of viewed images, then passes those predictions to an AI image generator to recreate the pictures with eerie accuracy. The research was uploaded to the preprint database arXiv and presented at the ICLR 2026 conference.
