An article in New Scientist <\/em>states that “the AI is given an image of a\u00a0person’s brain, taken with an fMRI scanner. The fMRI\u00a0scanner shows the surges in blood flow that correspond\u00a0<\/span>with activity, so the different parts of the brain involved in\u00a0<\/span>processing the image light up on the scan. From this, the AI\u00a0<\/span>then produces a caption based on what it thinks the person\u00a0<\/span>was viewing. For example, one caption it generated was ‘A\u00a0<\/span>dog is sitting on the floor in front of an open door,’ which\u00a0<\/span>correctly described the scene.”<\/span><\/p>\n
