Neuroscience+AI can unlock hidden visual interface for the emotional brain | James DiCarlo | TEDxMIT

"Indeed, for the past 20 years, the DiCarlo research team has been helping to build a contemporary scientific understanding of how a complex network of neurons in the brain processes images so that individuals recognize objects and faces, and they have been building this scientific understanding into precise computer models. Based on this, they are imagining a future where specific targeted visuals – images and movies – can improve physical and mental health. For example, imagine a future where images and movies provide physicians with new, non-invasive and non-pharmacological treatment options to help ameliorate mental health conditions.
