We're learning to read minds with sound waves @alephneuro! Here's the physics, visualized. 🧵

[Aleph @alephneuro]

We recently obtained the highest-resolution 3D images of the human brain ever taken from outside the skull. This is the first look.

@natureofvalue @alephneuro Yes:)

@candyflipline @alephneuro an arc every man goes through at least once. but i can't run it back, my gf will divorce me.

@levchizhov @alephneuro Coming from the goat himself

[Thomas Ribeiro @thomas_rribeiro]

@spectralfrenzy @alephneuro Very:)

[Thomas Ribeiro @thomas_rribeiro]

@nnnnicholas @alephneuro Exactly what I was thinking, you read my mind

[Thomas Ribeiro @thomas_rribeiro]

Grateful to be working on this with such an amazing team @_marleyx @raffi_hotter @levchizhov @jffbrwn2 @jeanprovost :)

[Thomas Ribeiro @thomas_rribeiro]

From this data, it may be possible to infer what someone is seeing, feeling, or thinking. The first steps toward decoding thought itself! And more than just read a thought, you could share it! Directly from one mind to another.

Had a great time hacking on this with the team @ennucore, @exr0n_finally, and @yush_g! Pioneering the extremely niche frontier of ultrasound nose science (someone had to)

[Lev Chizhov @levchizhov]

Can ultrasound make you smell things that aren’t there?

Turns out, yes! We reliably triggered distinct scents like a campfire burn or a garbage truck by targeting our brains with ultrasound. To our knowledge, this has never been done before, even in animals.

This may be a promising modality for writing to the brain non-invasively:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The most breathtaking Moon photos since Apollo.

[Raffi Hotter @raffi_hotter]

Why are MRIs so damn heavy?

They weigh over 10,000 pounds, or about 3 cars' worth.

MRI design knowledge is hidden inside large companies, so I tried to work it out from first principles. 🧵 (1/12)

[marley 📐 @_marleyx]

Can we invent new brain-computer interface modalities?

@raffi_hotter and I got 9 friends together and built a lab at home to test two totally new imaging methods: acoustoelectric imaging & functional ultrasound through the skull
