Scientists have found a way to read dreams by using MRI scans to reveal the images that people were seeing as they entered into an early stage of sleep.
Professor Yukiyasu Kamitani, from the ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories, in Kyoto, said: “We were able to reveal dream content from brain activity during sleep”.
The researchers now want to look at deeper sleep, where the most vivid dreams are thought to occur, as well as see whether brain scans can help them to reveal the emotions, smells, colours and actions that people experience as they sleep.
