- whorleater 9y agoGetting human trials is a significantly harder regulatory hurdle than monkey trials.
- mattkrause 9y agoGetting monkey faces, however....
- SketchySeaBeast 9y agoProbably a human bias for us. We can pick out differences in human faces easier, so we can tell the difference in the images. Looking at those pictures, I'd say that the monkey brain puts on 10 lbs.
- DanielleMolloy 9y agoFor invasive data like electrophysiology, not for fMRI. In fact few months ago there was a similar study about reading human faces from human brains via fMRI: https://twitter.com/ccnlab/status/866548346751725568 https://twitter.com/ccnlab/status/866548346751725568
