This simple JavaScript game allows you to evolve a small image simply by accepting or rejecting random images, allowing them to "reproduce" into a new generation, and then winnowing down that generation to the "fittest" (ie, closest to your desired outcome) individuals. In other words, without drawing, you can--simply by accepting and rejecting images--create an image that you imagine.





If this were implemented in a different way, using fMRI, one could do the same thing, but for a higher-resolution image, and the decision to accept or reject an image would be based on what areas of the brain lit up on the fMRI. In this way, one could find out what images make what parts of the brain "light up." In the end, this would allow one to find out what images are stored where on the brain.





I hope someone else, someone with more time and resources, can set up an implementation like this. In the mean time, enjoy this little test program. Please feel free to post your results in the forum!
