From the article, > The present work demonstrates that it is now practical for patients to undergo a single MRI scanning session and produce enough data to perform high-quality reconstructions of their visual perception. > Such image reconstructions from brain activity are expected to be systematically distorted due to factors including mental state, neurological conditions, etc. > This could potentially enable novel clinical diagnosis and assessment approaches, including applications for improved locked-in (pseudocoma) patient communication (Monti et al., 2010) and brain-computer interfaces if adapted to real-time analysis (Wallace et al., 2022) or non-fMRI neu-roimaging modalities. > As technology continues to improve, we note it is important that brain data be carefully protected and companies collecting such data be transparent with their use.
