| 2024 | BrainRAM: Cross-Modality Retrieval-Augmented Image Reconstruction from Human Brain ActivityabstractReconstructing visual stimuli from brain activities is crucial for deciphering the underlying mechanism of the human visual system. While recent studies have achieved notable results by leveraging deep generative models, challenges persist due to the lack of large-scale datasets and the inherent noise from non-invasive measurement methods. In this study, we draw inspiration from the mechanism of human memory and propose BrainRAM, a novel two-stage dual-guided framework for visual stimuli reconstruction. BrainRAM incorporates a Retrieval-Augmented Module (RAM) and diffusion prior to enhance the quality of reconstructed images from the brain. Specifically, in stage I, we transform fMRI voxels into the latent space of image and text embeddings via diffusion priors, obtaining preliminary estimates of the visual stimuli's semantics and structure. In stage II, based on previous estimates, we retrieve data from the LAION-2B-en dataset and employ the proposed RAM to refine them, yielding high-quality reconstruction results. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our BrainRAM outperforms current state-of-the-art methods both qualitatively and quantitatively, providing a new perspective for visual stimuli reconstruction.
