Inter-subject neural code converter for visual image representation

Kentaro Yamada, Yoichi Miyawaki, Yukiyasu Kamitani

Abstract: Highlights•Brain activity patterns differ from person to person even for an identical stimulus.•A neural code converter to predict one's brain activity from another's is proposed.•The converter accurately predicts brain activity induced by the same image.•Predicted brain activity for unseen stimuli can be used for training a decoder.
