Moss once heard of studies showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness.However,she had no idea that Zebby would become her helper and her ears.From their first night together,Zebby has slept next to her.When he hears noises in the dark,he jumps up."He became my night watch cat,"Moss said."Sometimes he would run around the room until I woke up." After several weeks,Moss noticed that whenever her phone rang or someone knocked at the door,Zebby would touch her lightly.It wasn't long before the cat took on another task:collecting Moss's mail.Now whenever he hears the mailbox being opened,he runs towards it,carries the mail in his mouth and drops it at Moss's feet. This past May,Zebby was named Britain's National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection.According to the largest cat charity,Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss's life easier.He has had no training at all,but his natural abilities seem to have told him that his owner needs his help.

First,scientists got everything ready before the tests.They invited some volunteers.Each spent sixteen hours listening to stories in a scanner ().They imagined the stories as they heard them,and the scanner recorded their brain activity.GPI-1 made connections between the ideas in the stories and the recordings of the listeners'brain activity. Then came the tests.The scientists did them in three different ways. Test 1 The researchers played a new story.GPI-1 was only given recordings of the volunteers'brain activity.But the words that GPI-1 predicted (were very similar to the words in the story that they were listening to.The words weren't exactly the same,but they often carried the same meaning.For example,when a volunteer was listening to a story about a woman who didn't have a driver's license ()the program came up with this "She hasn't even started to learn to drive yet." Test 2 The scientists also carried out the test when volunteers imagined their oun stories."It really works at the level of ideas.The ideas are the same but expressed in different words says Alexander Huth one of the scientists behind the study. Test 3 The researchers showed the volunteers silent movies,with no spoken words at all.GPI-1 could still figure out (算出)the basic ideas. After the tests,the scientists say that GPI-1 is the first AI program to turn what people are thinking into words without brain surgery ().The tool isn't something that can be easily used today,mainly because of the size and the cost of the scanner.In the future,they believe,a similar but cheaper tool could help people who have lost the ability to speak because of an injury or disease. The scientists say their tool can't be used to "read people's minds"without permission ().The tool only works if the person wants to share their thoughts. 第10页/共18页
