NeuroSketch: A Practical Design Recipe for Neural Decoding

Read the original on arXiv AI →

NeuroSketch presents a practical design recipe for neural decoding, beginning with a comparative study of nine basic architectures that identifies CNN‑2D as the most effective. The recipe incorporates macro‑level gradual feature‑map expansion and early downsampling, along with micro‑level grouped convolutions, resulting in two variants—NeuroSketch‑Base (1.4M parameters) and NeuroSketch‑Large (4.2M parameters). Across nearly 5,000 experiments on eight tasks involving visual, auditory, and speech modalities and EEG, SEEG, and ECoG signals, both variants outperform ten baseline models on every task.

Accurate Decoding of Natural Sentences from Non-Invasive Brain Recordings

Brain2Qwerty v2 is a model that decodes natural sentences from real‑time magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings, achieving an average word error rate of 39% across 22,000 sentences typed by nine subjects. The model uses character, word, and sentence‑level representations and shows that decoding accuracy improves log‑linearly with more data, narrowing the gap to intracranial brain‑computer interfaces. AI contributes by replacing hand‑crafted event detection with deep learning, fine‑tuning large language models for semantic extraction, and employing AI agents to refine the decoding pipeline through automated code development.
