Affordance Competition Hypothesis

I don’t believe there is any reason to expect that some outside observer should be able to “decrypt” a brain’s activity.

Time to step up your expectations:

Object representation in the visual cortex

There is intense interest regarding object recognition in the cortex - it is a local or hierarchical distributed function? This paper presents a method of decoding FMRI data into the original image viewed. IMHO - The results are stunningly good. It was necessary to use hierarchy to recover the original image lending weight to the case for a distributed hierarchical representation.
