# EEG2Vision: Multimodal EEG-Based Framework for 2D Visual Reconstruction

## Overview

A modular framework that reconstructs visual stimuli from non-invasive EEG signals. The system bridges the gap between low-resolution EEG data and high-fidelity visual reconstruction by leveraging multimodal learning and diffusion-based generation.

## Source Paper

- **Title:** EEG2Vision: A Multimodal EEG-Based Framework for 2D Visual Reconstruction
- **arXiv:** Available on arXiv
- **Categories:** neuroscience, EEG, computer vision

## Core Concepts

### Architecture
1. **EEG Encoder**: Extract spatiotemporal features from raw EEG signals
2. **Visual Latent Mapper**: Map EEG features to visual latent space
3. **Diffusion Generator**: Generate images conditioned on EEG-derived latents
4. **Multimodal Alignment**: Align EEG and visual representations

### Key Innovations
- **Non-invasive visual decoding**: Works with EEG (not fMRI/iEEG)
- **Diffusion-based generation**: Leverages pre-trained image diffusion models
- **Cross-modal alignment**: Learn shared representation space
- **Temporal feature extraction**: Capture time-varying visual processing in EEG

## Implementation Pattern

```python
class EEG2VisionPipeline:
    """End-to-end EEG to visual reconstruction pipeline."""
    
    def __init__(self, eeg_channels=64, latent_dim=512):
        # EEG feature extractor
        self.eeg_encoder = EEGTemporalEncoder(
            channels=eeg_channels,
            num_layers=4,
            hidden_dim=256
        )
        
        # Cross-modal mapper
        self.latent_mapper = CrossModalMapper(
            input_dim=256,
            output_dim=latent_dim
        )
        
        # Image generation (frozen diffusion model)
        self.diffusion_model = StableDiffusion(latent_dim)
    
    def train(self, eeg_data, images, num_epochs=100):
        """Train EEG encoder and latent mapper."""
        for epoch in range(num_epochs):
            # Extract EEG features
            eeg_features = self.eeg_encoder(eeg_data)
            
            # Map to visual latent space
            latents = self.latent_mapper(eeg_features)
            
            # Compute alignment loss
            image_features = self.get_image_features(images)
            alignment_loss = self.contrastive_loss(latents, image_features)
            
            # Reconstruction loss via diffusion
            recon_loss = self.diffusion_model.compute_loss(latents, images)
            
            total_loss = alignment_loss + recon_loss
            self.backward(total_loss)
    
    def reconstruct(self, eeg_signal):
        """Reconstruct image from EEG."""
        features = self.eeg_encoder(eeg_signal)
        latents = self.latent_mapper(features)
        image = self.diffusion_model.generate(latents)
        return image
```
