What’s the Human Brain Doing? Let’s See!

At the Imagination in Action: AI frontiers and implications by MIT CSAIL and Forbes in June 2023, Aude Oliva presented the lab work on building tools to visualize human brain processes. These spatio-temporal brain maps can show how the human brain reacts to visual, audio, verbal or tactile stimuli, making them relevant tools to characterize brain disorders, being perceptual, cognitive, emotional or motor. See the Forbes article and video for more.

Neuro-Technology

The human brain processes 11 million bits of information per second and compresses it in ways that are still, in great part, unknown. What if we could recover this information by reading out brain signals? This projects explores the frontiers of non-invasive brain and machine communication, by designing generative models that reconstruct neural-based mental percepts. See our ECCV 2024 project website.
