Currently, researchers are only able to reconstruct movie clips people have already viewed.

Ah.. I smell shenanigans. Only movie clips? Why would that be. Seems like if they could get at peoples real thoughts. like the faces of loved ones the images may be better displayed. Only movie clips?

You make a good point here. I think the current limitation is because they have to map images to activity in the brain. They then compare activity to the vast library of images that they have and a computer combines the closest match to make the output. Similar to how your brain decides what you are looking at, you reference memory.
