Can we reconstruct our subjective experiences from brain signals? Check our latest paper in @ScienceAdvances w/ my PhD advisor @ykamit and colleagues. We explore how reconstruction methods can advance understanding of neural representations behind illusion.science.org/doi/full/10.11…

Visual illusions suggest that what we see is not always a direct reflection of the world, but rather a constructed representation. Is it possible to generate images mirroring illusory experiences directly from brain activity?

Can AI "see" motion from static images like humans?

We tested 10 state-of-the-art vision models (multi-scale, recurrent, and bio-inspired) on the Rotating Snakes illusion, one of the most extensively characterized motion illusions in human and primate vision. Almost all failed β€” only one bio-inspired model, Dual, predicted motion most closely aligned with human perception, particularly under simulated eye movements.

Accepted to @CVPR Findings!

Look. The snakes rotate.
Hold still. They stop.
Glance away. They spin again.
We asked 10 visual-motion models to play this game with us. Only one could. 🐍

I'll present "Neural networks reveal candidate computational mechanisms underlying anomalous motion illusion" at #VSS2026

Realistic-looking images predicted from brain activity β‰  faithful reconstruction of visual experience
Our paper is now accepted at Neural Networks!
This work builds on our previous threads, updated with deeper analyses.

We revisit brain-to-image reconstruction using NSD + diffusion modelsβ€”and ask: do they really reconstruct what we perceive?
