Scientists use AI to see film through mouse's eyes
A team from a research university in Lausanne, Switzerland, has developed an AI tool that can decode a mouse's brain signals as it watches a movie and create a clip of the film from the rodent's point of view. A machine learning algorithm called CEBRA was trained to map brain activity related to frames from the movie. CEBRA could then predict and recreate what the mouse had been watching. Footage provided by the researchers shows the original black-and-white clip of a man moving to a car and opening a trunk. Another screen displays the AI reconstructed footage of how the mouse viewed the film.
