A team of researchers at EPFL has developed an AI tool that can interpret rodent brain signals in real time and recreate the videos that mice see.
Let me remind you that I also told you about the queer lover you asked Chaos GPT Destroy humanity, establish world domination, and that too Microsoft’s VALL-E AI It can imitate the human voice in a 3-second pattern.
The media also write that the UN is calling for a moratorium on the use of AI that threatens human rights, but the apocalypse seems unstoppable 😉
A machine learning algorithm called “”Sebra‘ has been trained to display neural activity at specific frames of the video. Algorithms can then predict and reconstruct the video clip that the mouse is watching.
Mouse was playing a 1960s black-and-white film depicting a man running to his car and opening the trunk. The original film and his CEBRA reconstructed footage turned out to be identical.
In their study, the scientists used probe electrodes inserted into the visual cortex and mouse optical probes that were genetically engineered to glow green when neurons in the brain communicated information. Activity was measured and recorded.
Relating behavior to neural activity is a fundamental goal of neuroscience. As our ability to record large-scale neural and behavioral data improves, there is growing interest in modeling neural dynamics during adaptive behavior to explore neural representations.the researcher writes.
CEBRA trained mice on the movies they saw and their brain activity in real time. Using this data, CEBRA learned which brain signals are associated with specific frames of the movie.
Moreover, when CEBRA started processing new brain activity that was not in the training dataset (from mice watching another movie), CEBRA was able to predict which frame the mouse was watching in real time, suggesting that the researchers used that data for their own movies.
Using CEBRA to map space, reveal complex kinematic features, create a coherent latent space for two-photon and neuropixel data, and decode natural video from the visual cortex with high speed and accuracy indicatesscientists from EPFLMore Announced.
