What's with the sporatic clutters of watermark-like words in the video? I wish they would show how this material was being collected, or perhaps some indication of whether what they show is raw or edited. It's obviously at least cropped to be composed in the same way as the original video, to make the comparison easier. This makes me feel like everything about this isn't being shown, and the implicit dishonesty (or at least incompleteness) makes me skeptical.
- jordan0day 15y agoA different site covering this same story mentions that the methodology used actually involves the computer scanning something like 18 million youtube videos, simulating what areas in the brain each of these videos would be likely to affect, and comparing that to what was recorded during the subjects' fMRI sessions. So the watermark-like words are coming from the youtube clips, not from the subjects' brains themselves.
