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

study. did it work? what did they find? well, again, i want to say again, it is early, these are small studies, i think in some ways this was proof of concept, but look at some of the findings here. gamma waves, the shorter, high energy waves that were stimulating the front part of the brain, they found that that actually did improve overall longer term sort of memory. they were giving people lists of words, people were able to remember the earliest words better when they stimulated the longer term memory stores. the fadeaways, saw that in purple, those are the shorter term memory improvements. and, again, significant memory improvements in this small group of people. they tested 20 people, and the gamma group, and 20 people in the other group and they did a sham group as well, basically put the skullcap on but did not deliver electricity and they found that that did not have an improvement. it was clearly this electrical current that was making a difference. not invasive
