Harnessing EEG signals and machine learning reveals our brain's unique response to human faces, unveiling a path to mind-reading.

Mind-reading experiments, despite initial hiccups, unveils the EEG's potential to distinguish between seeing faces and scenery in real-time.

Despite limitations and the necessity for 'cheats', EEG data decoding shows promise for future mind-reading and machine learning advances.
