Mind's Eye: Image Recognition by EEG via Multimodal Similarity-Keeping Contrastive Learning
<|reference_start|>Mind's Eye: Image Recognition by EEG via Multimodal Similarity-Keeping Contrastive Learning: Decoding images from non-invasive electroencephalographic (EEG) signals has been a grand challenge in understanding how the human brain process visual information in real-world scenarios. To cope with the issues of signal-to-noise ratio and nonstationarity, this paper introduces a MUltimodal Similarity-keeping contrastivE learning (MUSE) framework for zero-shot EEG-based image classification. We develop a series of multivariate time-series encoders tailored for EEG signals and assess the efficacy of regularized contrastive EEG-Image pretraining using an extensive visual EEG dataset. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, with a top-1 accuracy of 19.3% and a top-5 accuracy of 48.8% in 200-way zero-shot image classification. Furthermore, we visualize neural patterns via model interpretation, shedding light on the visual processing dynamics in the human brain.
