Brain Awareness Video Contest: Population Coding: Mind Reading and More

Coding By Builder

Is it possible to read minds using science? While scientists cannot read thoughts, they are able to anticipate more basic neural responses through a process called population coding. Watch this video by Vania Cao, who recently defended her PhD thesis at Brown University, to learn about population coding. Discover how scientists use this process to “read” minds and make bionic limbs move. This video tied for second place in the 2013 Brain Awareness Video Contest.
