Mind-Video decodes brain signals to generate high-quality, semantically accurate videos from visual fMRI data.
What is Mind Video?
"Mind-Video" is a two-module pipeline designed to bridge the gap between image and video brain decoding. It progressively learns from brain signals to gain a deeper understanding of the semantic space through multiple stages. The model leverages unsupervised learning with masked brain modeling to learn visual fMRI features and distills semantic-related features using contrastive learning in the CLIP space. The learned features are fine-tuned through co-training with a stable diffusion model tailored for video generation under fMRI guidance. The results show high-quality video reconstructions with accurate semantics, outperforming previous approaches in both semantic and pixel metrics.
Who created Mind Video?
Mind Video was created by Zijiao Chen, Jiaxin Qing, Tiange Xiang, and Prof. Juan Helen Zhou. It was launched on June 18, 2024.
