Abstract

We present a brain-to-image system that decodes visual stimuli from EEG signals recorded during natural image viewing. Our system addresses two tasks: (1) EEG-to-image retrieval, which ranks the correct stimulus image among 200 candidates given an EEG segment, and (2) EEG-to-image reconstruction, which generates an image consistent with the perceived stimulus. For retrieval, we implement a multi-level blurring approach improved with biologically inspired EVNet features and trained with the InfoNCE loss. Evaluated over 10 random seeds for a single subject, the retrieval model achieves a mean final-epoch Top-1 accuracy of 86.30% and Top-5 accuracy of 98.55%. For reconstruction, we implement CognitionCapturerPro, which aligns EEG representations to multi-modal CLIP embeddings, including image, text, depth, and edge embeddings, and synthesizes images with SDXL-Turbo conditioned via IP-Adapter. Averaged over 10 seeds, the reconstruction model achieves a CLIP score of 0.903 using ViT-H-14, a CLIP score of 0.870 using ViT-L/14, and an SSIM of 0.409. These results demonstrate the feasibility of decoding rich visual representations from EEG signals using modern multi-modal alignment and generative modeling techniques.
