A Peek Into The Brain

OK, sometimes I read a story and it just simply BLOWS MY MIND.

I'm nt sure why this isn't on the front cover of The New York Times, but there are some scientists who have managed to analyze the blood flow inside your brain, and using an MRI machine, and some sort of training/detecting algorithm (I am guessing a neural network), they managed to reconstruct the images that are INSIDE THE SUBJECT'S BRAIN. This is amazing and also a bit spooky, no?

I'm reading the article now - it's the cover story in the December 11 issue of the journal Neuron.
