BERKELEY, Calif.

Neuroscientists used CAT scans to decode electrical activity in the brain's temporal lobe, while a test subject listened to normal conversation.

Based on the correlation between sound and brain activity, they were then able to reconstruct imagined conversations.

The researchers say there's evidence that hearing a sound and imagining a sound activate similar areas of the brain.
