Israeli scientists have devised an AI model that can reconstruct and even predict what people are seeing with startling accuracy, likening the results to mind reading.

The AI model, called Brain-IT, was developed by professor Michal Irani and fellow researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.

More from CNET Brain-IT takes advantage of the thing that AI is best at, which is pattern recognition.

According to Irani, other AI models can translate brain activity into images and preserve the general vibe of an image.

How does the Brain-IT AI model work?
