• Abstract: We show that high quality, diverse and realistic-looking diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images can be synthesized using deep generative models. Based on professional neuroradiologists' evaluations and diverse metrics with respect to quality and diversity of the generated synthetic brain images, we present two networks, the Introspective Variational Autoencoder and the Style-Based GAN, that qualify for data augmentation in the medical field, where information is saved in a dispatched and inhomogeneous way and access to it is in many aspects restricted.

  We introduce a novel semantic alignment method of multi-subject fMRI signals using so-called MindFormer. This model is specifically designed to generate fMRI-conditioned feature vectors that can be used for conditioning Stable Diffusion model for fMRI- to-image generation or large language model (LLM) for fMRI-to-text generation. Our experimental results demonstrate that MindFormer generates semantically consistent images and text across different subjects.

  We propose a transformer-based modality infuser designed to synthesize multimodal brain MR images.

We carried out experiments on the BraTS 2018 dataset, translating between four MR modalities.

  Multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has found wide applications in both modern clinical studies and deep learning research. It frequently occurs that one or more of the MRI sequences are missing due to different image acquisition protocols or contrast agent contraindications of patients. One promising approach is to leverage generative models to synthesize the missing sequences, which can serve as a surrogate acquisition.

  Deep Learning (DL) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in diagnosing multiple diseases using reconstructed images as input. DL models are sensitive to varying artifacts as it leads to changes in the input data distribution between the training and testing phases. We propose to use other normalization techniques, such as Group Normalization and Layer Normalization, to inject robustness into model performance against varying image artifacts.

  Brain signal visualization has emerged as an active research area, serving as a critical interface between the human visual system and computer vision models. We propose a novel approach, referred to as Controllable Mind Visual Model Diffusion (CMVDM) CMVDM extracts semantic and silhouette information from fMRI data using attribute alignment and assistant networks. We then leverage a control model to fully exploit the extracted information for image synthesis, resulting in generated images that closely resemble the visual stimuli in terms of semantics and silhouette.
