42、across thebrain.Participants wore headphones that streamed audio from the Internet.Those streams of words producedactivity all over the brain,not just in areas associated with speech and language.After participants listened to hoursof stories in the scanner,the MRI data was sent to a computer.It lea

43、rned to match specific patterns of brain activitywith certain streams of words.Then came a paraphrased version of what a participant heard.The MRI approach is currently slower and less accurate than an experimental communication system beingdeveloped for paralyzed people,where people get a sheet of

44、electrical sensors implanted directly on the surface ofthe brain.With an MRI-based system,no one has to get surgery.But future versions of MRI scans could raise moral questions.“What if you can read out the word thatsomebody is just thinking in their head?Thats potentially a harmful thing.”Huth says

45、.This technology cant reallyread minds uncontrollably,though.It only works when a participant is actively cooperating with scientists.Still,systems that decode language could someday support people who are unable to speak because of a brain injury ordisease.They are also assisting scientists in unde
