transfer. (Credit: Image courtesy of University of Alberta)

• Managing light to carry computer data, such as text, audio and video, is possible today with laser light beams that are guided along a fibre-optic cable.
• These waves consist of countless billions of photons, which carry information down the fibre across continents.

• At UCLA's Laboratory of Integrative Neuroimaging Technology, researchers use functional MRI brain scans to observe brain signal changes that take place during mental activity. 
• They then employ computerized machine learning (ML) methods to study these patterns and identify the cognitive state -- or sometimes the thought process -- of human subjects. The technique is called "brain reading" or "brain decoding."
