The Gallant Lab at UC Berkeley had people watch videos while hooked up to a magnetic resonance imaging machine, then matched the data and brain activity to shapes, movement and colors. The computer model the researchers created blurry, dreamlike images.

In addition to the somewhat terrifying dream viewing application, the scientists also hope the technology will allow paralyzed people to imagine movements that can affect the physical world.
