Neurons++: A Unified Visual-Stream Framework for Image and Video Reconstruction from fMRI with Neural-to-Visual Interpretability

Neurons++ is a visual‑stream framework that reconstructs both static images and dynamic videos from fMRI data. It builds on the earlier Neurons model by extending from video‑only to image‑and‑video reconstruction and replacing parallel task conditioning with a serial, cortex‑inspired decoding pipeline. The approach first pre‑trains on image‑fMRI pairs for stable spatial‑semantic initialization, then fine‑tunes separately for image and video tasks, organizing fMRI representations into spatial, semantic, language‑level, and temporal cues, and achieves state‑of‑the‑art video reconstruction with competitive image results while enabling neural‑to‑visual interpretability and ROI‑guided semantic modulation.

Coarse-to-fine Hierarchical Architecture with Sequential Mamba for Brain Reconstruction

Understanding the relationship between deep visual representations and the human visual system is a fundamental challenge in computational neuroscience. While modern vision models achieve strong performance in image recognition, their correspondence with the hierarchical organization of the human visual cortex remains an open question.

Future Video Generation Better Aligns with the Human Visual Cortex than Observed Video

The study investigates how internal representations of video diffusion models align with human visual cortex responses. It finds that representations used for future video generation in an autoregressive (AR) model better match cortical activity than those for observed video, with future‑generation alignment concentrated in higher‑order visual areas. A behavioral experiment further shows that humans prefer videos enhanced by layers that align more strongly with cortical responses.
