An associate research professor in the medial imaging center of the University of Science and Technology of China. I like #AI, #fMRI, #vision and #white_matter.
This is a page for introducing antery and vein in human brain lateral ventricles.
It's impressive when I see the picture of numerous veins on the ependyma of the ventricle.

Self-supervised learning models have shown imprresive performance in brain decoding. But it is becoming a core question who can relate "prediction" to "explanation".

Nasal👃 breathe airflow 💨 tells indications on both physiological states and cognitive traits.
So can we do the similar estimation from BOLD-fMRI by breathe artifacts?

A mouse 🐭 study, but inspiring to the brain 🧠 to natural image 🖼️ decoding studies too.
Stimulus features are encoded widely around the brain, and we should jump out of the visual cortex💻.

So why not applying microwaves 📡 to brain 🧠 stimulation?

Do you want inter-site brain🧠 reading algrithm?
Here is one solution -- a converter between site-specific embeddings 🤪 and image reconstructing decoder 🙂.
