- Abstract summary: We introduce an AI method emphasizing semantic feature interpretation and resilience against multiple confounders.
Our approach's merits are tested in three scenarios: extracting confounder-free features from a 2D synthetic dataset; examining the association between prenatal alcohol exposure and children's facial shapes using 3D mesh data.
Results confirm our method effectively reduces confounder influences, establishing less confounded associations.

- Abstract: AI has greatly enhanced medical image analysis, yet its use in
epidemiological population imaging studies remains limited due to visualization
challenges in non-linear models and lack of confounder control. Addressing
this, we introduce an AI method emphasizing semantic feature interpretation and
resilience against multiple confounders. Our approach's merits are tested in
three scenarios: extracting confounder-free features from a 2D synthetic
dataset; examining the association between prenatal alcohol exposure and
children's facial shapes using 3D mesh data; exploring the relationship between
global cognition and brain images with a 3D MRI dataset. Results confirm our
method effectively reduces confounder influences, establishing less confounded
associations. Additionally, it provides a unique visual representation,
highlighting specific image alterations due to identified correlations.

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.
