        have to be careful - the results show "similar neurons fired when shown similar images" - the actual *picture* isn't "from" the brain

        AI neural net uses primate neural net output as training input. A picture would have sufficed?

        picture is very misleading though. They don't reconstruct/predict faces, but datapoints that correspond to a limited set of photos.

        Suspect the monkeys were well-wired, making it yet impossible to don a hat & make your thoughts available to world. A great start, however.
