[4eyes] Seeing is Worse Than Believing

[Chris Sweeney]

Here's another cool ECCV paper. Mathieu in particular may find it
interesting since it involves fMRI

Summary: They perform action recognition two ways. The first way uses
standard vision techniques to train a classifier for action recognition
from videos. The second has a human observer watch the same videos while
undergoing fMRI. The brain scans are then used for training a classifier
for the videos. They compare these results to each other and it turns out
that using the brain scans yields much better results.

An interesting consequence is that this implies computers are much better
at reading our minds than they are at recognizing actions in a video...
