Researchers have developed ViBE, a new framework for brain encoding that translates visual stimuli into magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) signals. The system utilizes a spatio-temporal convolutional variational autoencoder (TSC-VAE) to reconstruct neural responses and a Q-Former to align visual features with the neural representations. Experiments on the THINGS-EEG2 and THINGS-MEG datasets show ViBE's capability in generating high-quality M/EEG signals, potentially aiding in the development of visual prostheses. AI
