Fascinating article about research which has successfully extracted video from monitoring cat neurons. They have actually reconstructed what the cat actually saw from its neural signals. This opens the door to recording our day-to-day perceptions (lifelogs) and perhaps even to recording our dreams. And of course there might be options for playback as well. This is cool stuff.

Extracting Video from Cat Brains
Link: Minding the Planet: Extracting Video from Cat Brains. I find this more on the creepy side than the cool side. Tell me what you think.
