Recording Dreams with Artificial Intelligence: The Technology of the Future

Artificial Intelligence and Dream Recording: On the Borders of the Future

Artificial intelligence presents itself as a field that challenges our imagination with its potential. In this context, a topic addressed in an article written by Dr. Peter Bentley from University College London for BBC Science Focus is the capacity of artificial intelligence to record dreams. Dr. Bentley investigates the question, “Can artificial intelligence record our dreams?” However, the main issue to emphasize here is not whether artificial intelligence can acquire this ability, but “when it will achieve this”. It seems that significant developments in this area could be on the horizon.

Scientists have already begun exploring ways to record dreams and brain waves. In this framework, a Japanese study conducted last year has shown that functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanners can be used to classify different options in the minds of sleeping individuals. The research is promising in terms of the potential role this information could play in the future development of a dream-recording artificial intelligence.

As Dr. Bentley notes in his article, a substantial amount of fMRI data will be required to develop such an artificial intelligence. Given the rapid advancements in the field of AI research and development, it is not surprising that work in this area has already begun. However, as of now, there is no publicly disclosed dream recording research. Nevertheless, data collection for various research projects continues.

• Research has succeeded in recording thousands of hours of fMRI brain activity as part of studies related to conscious brain activity while listening to spoken words,
• reading text,
• and even watching videos.

In other words, what we now need is the development of a dream recording artificial intelligence that can analyze and replay this data. In the future, the idea of recording our dreams may become a reality that is perhaps closer than we think.
