Mind Captioning
Introduction
Here we have a groundbreaking piece of neuroscience research – one that sounds, at first glance, like something straight out of science fiction. Let's see how Scrolly Science brought the science down to earth, without losing the wonder.
The Challenge
Translating a complex fMRI-based AI research process into a 90-second explainer that feels credible, not cinematic. Dr. Horikawa's Mind Captioning research is genuinely extraordinary, and that's exactly the problem. The team needed to communicate the real mechanics clearly enough so that audiences understand it isn't mind reading.
Final Thoughts
The final video delivers the science with clarity and confidence: Mind Captioning isn't about reading thoughts - it's about understanding how the brain encodes what we see. Accurate framing, accessible visuals, and careful pacing ensure the audience walks away informed, not unsettled.
