🧠👁️Our MindEye2 preprint is out! We reconstruct seen images from fMRI brain activity using only 1 hour of training data. This is possible by first pretraining a shared-subject model using other people's data, then fine-tuning on a held-out subject with only 1 hour of data.🧵

@ashleyruba That's awesome and very impressive! i want to add: some never get published, for reasons out of their control (bc of unclear data, mental health issues, bad work environment) and they and their work matter too. Unfortunately staying in academia can be a lot harder in these cases.

We scale this up to large-scale image databases like LAION-5B! MindEye can look through the billions of images in LAION-5B and find the image it thinks was originally presented. This means MindEye can output realistic images from brain activity without any generative model.

For recons we train a 940M param MLP to map fMRI voxels to CLIP image space, then use a diffusion prior trained from scratch to align modalities. This means we can reconstruct using any pre-trained generative model, without fine-tuning, that accepts CLIP image latents as inputs.

To ensure objects are in right spatial locations, colors mostly correct, etc. we use img2img with a separate autoencoder that maps brain activity to Stable Diffusion’s variational autoencoder. This produces blurry reconstructions which we use to initialize the diffusion process.

@MattiaRigotti @joeyzyzyzy I don't understand, did Neuralink say that they were the first to demonstrate this? I thought its a cool demo of their current bci implant

It seems weird to train a model on ImageNet images and then expect it to generalize during testing using images of artificial geometric shapes, esp. when the comparison methods used pretrained frozen models that assume realistic image outputs (e.g., Stable/Versatile Diffusion)

@schulzb589 would love to test this if we had data for it -- we hope to extend this to mental imagery and at that point it'd be very cool to test the difference in reconstructions for aphantasia population

VWM for item orientation is biased by mean of other items (which were also tested). Bias towards mean and precision increased as range of orientations narrowed. Supports hierarchical encoding framework: narrower orientation range makes ensemble info easier to 1/5

@alex_ander @kencan7749 @ykamit Potentially another case would be framing identification as retrieval (to clarify the original stimulus not needing to be in the set, and tying to the same terminology used in computer vision) bc id argue retrieval approaches serve unique goals beyond reconstruction..

Today we're sharing new research that brings us one step closer to real-time decoding of image perception from brain activity. Using MEG, this AI system can decode the unfolding of visual representations in the brain with an unprecedented temporal resolution. More details ⬇️

Attention and WM fluctuate the same way, lapsing together, adding evidence to notion that both share a common cognitive resource. Not due to task-general fluctuations like alertness or how engaged subject was.

What's a swap error? Incorrectly reporting that an object's original color was the most common color. You don't need to understand the modeling in the paper to appreciate this, these visible bumps in the response histograms show the swapping: 2/

@JuliaJYan @PhDForum I've tried both Mendeley and EndNote and always have a handful of incorrect references at the end (formatting errors or missing info). I have to manually check every ref to trust my bibliography before submissions. So I would love to have an automated reference checking system!

RIF produced stronger effect than DF. Also found DF is susceptible to response confusion (I remember object was associated w/ Forget instruction, should I report "New"?) and that nearly half of subj may have disregarded the Forget cues. RIF>DF holds after controlling for these.

@HaoTingW713 That would make sense if the project is a couple years old maybe, but if the authors just submitted to a journal and still can't provide either organized or unorganized data (at risk of rejection otherwise), then how did they analyse the data in the first place?
