For the first time, researchers have found a way to non-invasively
translate a person’s thoughts into text. Using fMRI scans and an

reconstruct brain activity to interpret the gist of a story someone
is listening to, watching or even just imagining telling. Ian

neuroscientist Dr Alex Huth, to find out how it works, where they
hope to use it, and whether our mental privacy could soon be at
risk. Help support our independent journalism at
