High-resolution image reconstruction with latent diffusion models from human brain activity

Takagi and Nishimoto, CVPR 2023

General Information

This is a repository for reproducing the method we presented (Takagi and Nishimoto, CVPR 2023) for visual experience reconstruction from brain activity using Stable Diffusion.

Based on our earlier work (Takagi and Nishimoto, CVPR 2023), we further examined the extent to which various additional decoding techniques affect the performance of reconstructing visual experience in a following Technical Paper, including a method of decoding text prompt from the brain (see figure below). These methods are also available in this repository.

We confirmed that adding several techniques contribute to improving the accuracy from Takagi and Nishimoto CVPR 2023. In the figure below, for each method, three generated images from different stochastic noise were randomly chosen.

Environment setup

Download nsddata, nsddata_betas, and nsddata_stimuli from NSD and place them under the nsd directory.
pip install -r requirements.txt
Install Stable Diffusion v1.4 (under the diffusion_sd1/ directory), download checkpoint (sd-v1-4.ckpt), and place it under the codes/diffusion_sd1/stable-diffusion/models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/ directory.
For incorporating GAN, install bdpy (under the gan/ directory), download VGG_ILSVRC_19_layers and bvlc_reference_caffenet_generator_ILSVRC2012_Training from https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/brain-decoding-cookbook/21564384, and place them under the codes/gan/models/pytorch/ directory.
For incorporating decoded depth, install Stable Diffusion v2.0 (under the diffusion_sd2/ directory), download checkpoint (512-depth-ema.ckpt), and place it under the codes/diffusion_sd2/stablediffusion/models/ directory.
