• Abstract: The integration of deep learning and neuroscience has been advancing rapidly, which has led to improvements in the analysis of brain activity and the understanding of deep learning models from a neuroscientific perspective. The reconstruction of visual experience from human brain activity is an area that has particularly benefited: the use of deep learning models trained on large amounts of natural images has greatly improved its quality, and approaches that combine the diverse information contained in visual experiences have proliferated rapidly in recent years. In this technical paper, by taking advantage of the simple and generic framework that we proposed (Takagi and Nishimoto, CVPR 2023), we examine the extent to which various additional decoding techniques affect the performance of visual experience reconstruction. Specifically, we combined our earlier work with the following three techniques: using decoded text from brain activity, nonlinear optimization for structural image reconstruction, and using decoded depth information from brain activity. We confirmed that these techniques contributed to improving accuracy over the baseline. We also discuss what researchers should consider when performing visual reconstruction using deep generative models trained on large datasets.

  We introduce a new Transformer architecture called MindFormer to generate fMRI-conditioned feature vectors. MindFormer incorporates two key innovations: 1) a novel training strategy based on the IP-Adapter to extract semantically meaningful features from fMRI signals, and 2) a subject specific token and linear layer that effectively capture individual differences in fMRI signals.

• Brain-optimized inference improves reconstructions of fMRI brain activity [0.0]
  We evaluate the prospect of further improving recent decoding methods by optimizing for consistency between reconstructions and brain activity during inference. We sample seed reconstructions from a base decoding method, then iteratively refine these reconstructions using a brain-optimized encoding model. We show that reconstruction quality can be significantly improved by explicitly aligning decoding to brain activity distributions.
