This paper is highly exciting for anybody working on the neural code and so-called encoding models.

Only few days ago there was a similar study reading faces from human brains by trying to construct a latent space:

Given the limitations of fMRI (we can not do single cell recordings in human brains) the results are not as accurate, but to my knowledge this is the best we can do in humans so far.
