In a thrilling breakthrough at the intersection of neuroscience and statistics, penalized Least Squares methods have been used to construct a “mind-reading” algorithm that reconstructs movies from fMRI brain signals. The story of this algorithm is a fascinating tale of the interdisciplinary research that led to the development of the system which was selected as one of Time Magazine’s 50 Best Inventions of 2011.
