The study investigates how aligning the representational geometry of artificial neural networks can improve bidirectional predictivity with biological neural responses. By applying spectral regularization during training of self‑supervised contrastive vision models, the authors increased reverse predictivity by 55% while only modestly reducing forward predictivity. The adjustments also lowered effective dimensionality and reorganized the shared representational subspace, making forward and reverse predictivity more symmetric at intermediate spectral exponents.
SlowFast‑SCI introduces a dual‑speed deep‑unfolding framework for spectral compressive imaging that combines a slow, pre‑trained backbone with a fast, test‑time adaptation stage. The slow phase distills a priors‑based model into a compact fast‑unfolding network, while the fast phase embeds lightweight modules that self‑supervise at test time without retraining the backbone. This design yields significant reductions in parameters and FLOPs, improves out‑of‑distribution PSNR by up to 5.79 dB, and accelerates adaptation four‑fold, all while remaining modular enough to integrate with any existing deep‑unfolding system.

The study investigates how the geometry of representations in artificial neural networks can be steered to improve bidirectional alignment with biological neural responses. By applying spectral regularization during training of self‑supervised contrastive vision models, the authors increased reverse predictivity by 55% while only modestly reducing forward predictivity. The changes also lowered effective dimensionality and reorganized the shared subspace, making forward and reverse predictivity more symmetric at certain spectral exponents.
