• Abstract: Recent advancements in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology have emphasized the promise of imagined speech and visual imagery as effective paradigms for intuitive communication. This study investigates the classification performance and brain connectivity patterns associated with these paradigms, focusing on decoding accuracy across selected word classes. Sixteen participants engaged in tasks involving thirteen imagined speech and visual imagery classes, revealing above-chance classification accuracy for both paradigms. Variability in classification accuracy across individual classes highlights the influence of sensory and motor associations in imagined speech and vivid visual associations in visual imagery. Connectivity analysis further demonstrated increased functional connectivity in language-related and sensory regions for imagined speech, whereas visual imagery activated spatial and visual processing networks. These findings suggest the potential of imagined speech and visual imagery as an intuitive and scalable paradigm for BCI communication when selecting optimal word classes. Further exploration of the decoding outcomes for these two paradigms could provide insights for practical BCI communication.

  We use linear decoding over the learned representations of unimodal vision, unimodal language, and multimodal deep neural network (DNN) models to predict human beauty ratings of naturalistic images. We show that unimodal vision models (e.g. SimCLR) account for the vast majority of explainable variance in these ratings. Language-aligned vision models (e.g. SLIP) yield small gains relative to unimodal vision. Taken together, these results suggest that whatever words we may eventually find to describe our experience of beauty, the ineffable computations of feedforward perception may provide sufficient foundation for that experience.

• Towards Decoding Brain Activity During Passive Listening of Speech [0.0]
  We attempt to decode heard speech from intracranial electroencephalographic (iEEG) data using deep learning methods. This approach diverges from the conventional focus on speech production and instead chooses to investigate neural representations of perceived speech. Despite the approach not having achieved a breakthrough yet, the research sheds light on the potential of decoding neural activity during speech perception.

We also design a Scene-Object Fusion Module to integrate scenes and objects, which exploits scene features to guide the fusion process of object features with the proposed scene-based attention mechanism.
