AI Technical Summary
Existing non-invasive EEG visual decoding methods struggle to effectively extract high-order specific semantic features related to visual content from strong noise and common evoked potential interference, resulting in a large cross-modal semantic gap and poor zero-sample generalization ability.
Spatial covariance noise and common evoked components of EEG signals are eliminated through multivariate noise normalization whitening and fixed-wavelength removal. Features are extracted by combining spatiotemporally coupled block attention networks, and cross-modal alignment is performed using a pre-trained visual-language large model. A contrastive loss based on InfoNCE is constructed for training.
It significantly improves the accuracy and robustness of zero-shot visual decoding and image retrieval, achieving high-precision open-world image retrieval capabilities and bridging the modal gap between EEG signals and visual images.
