#2I wonder how this technique could be used to develop specific-person optimized user interfaces. Of course, it’ll probably be first used in ad-tech.

#3JFC. This thing is a monkey nightmare machine.

For sure, those are very likely images of fear. If you wanna call them “highly stimulating” well... That’s probably not untrue.
But the only thing that the monkey is likely finding “stimulating” about familiar people in surgical masks is an association with pain and terror. Note the odd expressionless faces standing over them, holding utensils.
Pretty god damned ominous. Not at all images one might call fun.

What are the paper faces?

#5This is sick. I can't believe as human beings we still do this to other conscious creatures with feelings. It's emotionally traumatizing.
It's wrong.

Facemasks?

#7Why was this study done on monkeys instead of apes (closer to humans) or mice (cheaper)?

#8> To find out which sights specific neurons in monkeys "like" best, researchers designed an algorithm, called XDREAM, that generated images that made neurons fire more than any natural images the researchers tested.
I know they put "like" in quotes, but damn. Imagine this from a scifi angle:
> "The aliens from Tau Ceti found which stimuli specific humans "like" best by trying them out and seeing which ones made humans scream the most.

"I will buy whatever you're selling to make this stimulus stop, please."

#10I was afraid of this when I saw the headline, because it means we are finally at risk developing a Parrot attack. If it’s not apparent yet why digital displays need anti-seizure filters in hardware before it’s too late for humankind, read this and be very afraid:
