(6/7) Out-of-distribution generalization tests on NSD-synthetic reveal differences between brain models that are not detected by in-distribution tests => self-supervised deep neural networks better explain neural responses than their task-supervised counterparts.

(5/7) NSD-synthetic is a stricter testbed that highlights deficiencies of brain encoding models not observable with in-distribution tests.

(4/7) NSD-synthetic’s fMRI responses are out-of-distribution with respect to NSD-core.

(3/7) NSD-synthetic’s fMRI responses reliably encode stimulus-related information over visual cortex.

(2/7) NSD-synthetic consists of 7T fMRI responses from the eight NSD subjects for 284 carefully controlled synthetic images, divided into 8 classes.
