The team has trained the al on their own brains. As they listen to stories inside the scanner, the computer watches what happens. What sort of Brain Activity are you looking for . Were looking for Brain Activity thats related to specific ideas or specific words that appear in the stories. So, for example, whenever you hear somebody talk about parking a car, there are certain patterns of activity in the brain that will be present that reliably correspond to that kind of idea. And were trying to build up that mapping from this very large data set. The computer looks for patterns in the vast amounts of data from the scanner. With enough training, it can translate Brain Activity into words. So the lead scientist is listening to a story for us. The war of the worlds. The martians in the pit had turned the heat ray on. A deep, throbbing sound, a silver pencil of light. And a narrow ribbon of bracken and grass and trees and houses stretching as far as the eye could see, was scorched. And this is the text that the ai created from the brain scan. In the decoded version, which misses a lot of things, but it gets some of the good stuff, fired the bullets out of the clip he had on him as he ran. And then i heard a huge crack as a large piece of concrete hit my forehead and then a giant ball of fire. The general idea of big noise, got hurt is there in both of them. Yeah. And then also the idea that something was on fire, the scorched versus a giant ball of fire, it captured all those things, but clearly not exactly the right words. So far, its only analysed the brains of a handful of volunteers whove all spent 16 hours being scanned. But they hope itll unlock the secrets of how our minds work. We are really pushing on and what a lot of our effort in the lab goes toward is using this to actually understand the brain better. Thats our scientific goal. In the end, we want to know how does the brain work . How do our brains process language . How do we understand ideas . How do we think . Sounds great, but what happens if it ends up in the wrong hands . Some people are scared or think that the Thought Police is coming. I think its a fair reaction to this to say, like, this is scary, i dont want this to happen. That was kind of our reaction too, like, the first thing that we thought when we got this working was like, this is fantastic, its working. And then like, oh my god, this is working. Are the thought place coming . Not yet. None of the Current Technologies that we have would be effective at actually policing peoples thoughts.

That is a good point, thank you for joining us on the context michel. Now to a warning for those obsessed with selfies. Footage has been released by network rail of what they called Incredibly Dangerous Behaviour caught by Hidden Cameras on footpath level crossings in worcester. The incidents include one teenager doing one armed press ups in the middle of the crossing. Dog walkers sitting their pets on the tracks to take photos of them. Parents letting toddlers play on live Railway Lines for over a minute and a half. Officials say they have released the footage of people risking their lives as a Safety Warning to others. Meanwhile in the us. A 13 year old boy has survived a 30 metre, 100 foot, fall during a family trip to the grand canyon. Wyatt kauffman told a local Television Station he had fallen while moving out of the way so otherpeople could take pictures. Among his injuries were nine broken vertebrae, a ruptured spleen, broken hand and a collapsed lung. Ron and sonia, how far would you go for a selfie .

But i will not do that stuff because life is precious and so many people are engaged in this sort of extreme, i have to push further, i have to go farther, and many of these folks lose their lives. Not worth it. I am going to wake up and lift today. Do you agree sonia . Its a serious issue where we hear on network real people are standing in the middle of the crossing for selfies.

Last year it was just a stream in a field, but now its become a pond, which by day looks fairly quiet, but by night comes alive. Two Adult Beavers were brought here from scotland last year. Theyve become quite at home in a two hectare securely fenced area in which theyve built dams to create ponds. Everything has gone swimmingly, so much so that last week, when penny checked the monitoring cameras, she saw two baby beavers known as kits. It was an historic moment. So excited. You know, itsjust the most exciting thing to know that beavers have bred here successfully. And thats the first time in 500 years in sussex that we can say that. Its just amazing. Theyve made the most amazing Wildlife Habitat here. Theyre real ecosystem engineers. Theyre creating loads of wonderful habitat for other wildlife.

This is the part of the show where i asked my pen and list what they have been looking at and sonia i will start with you because youve been looking at a story with massive implications in Northern Ireland . This is a data breach we heard about last week this is a data breach we heard about last week a this is a data breach we heard about last week. A big data breach that affected last week. A big data breach that affected the Police Service of Northern Ireland, essentially what happened to viewers who are up to date, there was a Freedom Of Information up to date, there was a Freedom Of Information requests put into the Police Information requests put into the police force and somebody mistakenly replied police force and somebody mistakenly replied to police force and somebody mistakenly replied to that request attaching the database that contained the names the database that contained the names and rank and job title of Hundreds Names and rank and job title of hundreds of Police Officers in Northern Ireland. Theres extra security Northern Ireland. Theres extra security that surrounds the Police Service security that surrounds the Police Service of security that surrounds the Police Service of Northern Ireland following the troubles in northern lreland, following the troubles in Northern Ireland, there still political instability in Northern Ireland, obviously the threat level that the Police Obviously the threat level that the police are obviously the threat level that the police are under the state is not quite police are under the state is not quite what police are under the state is not quite what it was in the 1980s but it is still quite what it was in the 1980s but it is still high. The Police Service still comes it is still high. The Police Service still comes under attack to this present still comes under attack to this present day so lots of Police Officers present day so lots of Police Officers will not even, they might tell their officers will not even, they might tell their closest friends or family. Tell their closest friends or family, but might not even tell them that their family, but might not even tell them that their service Police Officers because that their service Police Officers because of the security risk. We heard because of the security risk. We heard about this big data breach and its says heard about this big data breach and its says no heard about this big data breach and its says no emerge today that the police its says no emerge today that the police know that this information has found police know that this information has found its way into hands of dissident has found its way into hands of dissident republicans.

One thing the story mick is clear today is that this isnt information that is out there and can be information that is out there and can be retracted. It is information is out can be retracted. It is information is out there can be retracted. It is information is out there and they would continue to have is out there and they would continue to have Security Implications for years to have Security Implications for years to to have Security Implications for years to come, and Something Police will have years to come, and Something Police will have to years to come, and Something Police will have to monitor for years to come will have to monitor for years to come at will have to monitor for years to come.

Hello im 0lly foster with the latest from the bbc sport centre. Manchester united versus wells in injury time right now. Largely frustrating for Manchester United until the last 15 minutes with Aaron Wan Bissaka with The Cross For Rafaelle , scorn for what looks like the winter. Andre 0nana has been very busy in the united goal but as it stands matches united are on course for their opening match of the Premier League season. Just a few minutes ago. Lets start in the Premier League, just two sides we havent seen Moises Caicedo has completed his move from brighton to chelsea for an intialfee of £100 million, with add ons that is set to rise to a british record £115 million. Liverpool had also come in for him, for a very similar amount, but it was down to the player and the ecuadorian had always favoured a move to stamford bridge, and after having a number of offers knocked back, the blues have secured the services of the 21 year old. Hes their 8th signing of the summer transfer window. Theres been another coup for the saudi pro league. Brazilian star neymar is leaving Paris Saint Germain tojoin al hilal. The 2 year deal is subject to the 31 year old completing a medical and all the necessary paperwork. It comes after it became clear neymar was not part of new coach Luis Enriques plans for the new season at psg. A Construction Worker has died after an incident at the new everton stadium. The club say that the thoughts and condolences of everyone connected with everton are with his family, friends, and colleagues. The 26 year old was taken to hospital after being hurt on the Construction Site at Bramley Moore dock. Merseyside police say an investigation is in the early stages. The new ground on the banks of the river mersey is expected to be completed late next year. Its a huge few days for the england lionesses, with the world cup semifinal against australia coming up on wednesday. Theyll be favourites against the co hosts but they did lose to the matildas in a friendly back in april, ending their 30 match unbeaten run. Semifinal of a world cup is a difficult game and obviously we can take some confidence from that game but we werent at our best and im sure they are aware of that and we have changed a lot of that since then with shape and players and the mentality in the world cup is different so i imagine they wont be to focused on that, knowing it would be a tough game as well. Hopefully it would be a good game for the fans to watch. Records have tumbled after an astonishing knock in the womens hundred today. Englands Tammy BeaumontTammy Beaumont has hit the First Century in the womens competition. The welsh fire batter brought up her ton offjust 52 balls and she went onto reach 118, thats the highest individual score in the womens or mens hundred to date. And that helped welsh fire to 181 for three against Trent Rockets, the highest team score in the womens competition. They won by 41 runs. So a possible re call to englands t20 side . Iam i am someone who if i feel like i can keep learning and improving i dont give up, and its a captains at eight having others as well and they could be better than what is nexium. Three very good openers so its nice to perform but at the same time england have amazing bettors in nt 20 cricket, if i am one of them is special.
