> You also have to understand that the model has to be trained to match pictures/brain scan for each individual. this was the impression I had and I think some of the commenters here should note this, assuming I am understanding correctly: this technique only works on a training set that comes from the same person. that is, you can't take model you trained on one person and apply it to someone else, their fMRI patterns would be completely different. Since it's just lining up pre-canned photos to various blotches and patterns seen in the scan. That's what it looked like to me, anyway, if I'm getting it wrong please clarify.
