# EEG2Vision: EEG-to-Image Reconstruction with MLLM Boosting

## Overview

EEG2Vision reconstructs 2D visual stimuli from non-invasive EEG signals using a two-stage pipeline:
1. EEG-conditioned diffusion model for initial reconstruction
2. MLLM-guided boosting for semantic refinement

Key innovation: Works with low-density EEG (as few as 24 channels), enabling real-world BCI applications.

## Channel Resolution Results

| Channels | 50-way Top-1 Acc | FID    | IS Improvement (boost) |
|----------|------------------|--------|------------------------|
| 128      | 89%              | 76.77  | +5.2%                  |
| 64       | ~70%             | ~78    | +6.8%                  |
| 32       | ~50%             | ~79    | +8.1%                  |
| 24       | 38%              | 80.51  | +9.71%                 |

Key insight: Semantic accuracy drops sharply with fewer channels, but the boosting mechanism 
provides greater relative improvement in low-channel settings.

## Implementation Pattern

```python
class EEG2Vision:
    def __init__(self, eeg_encoder, diffusion_model, mllm, i2i_diffusion):
        self.eeg_encoder = eeg_encoder
        self.diffusion = diffusion_model
        self.mllm = mllm
        self.i2i_diffusion = i2i_diffusion
    
    def reconstruct(self, eeg_signal):
        # Stage 1: EEG-conditioned diffusion
        eeg_features = self.eeg_encoder(eeg_signal)
        initial_image = self.diffusion.generate(condition=eeg_features)
        
        # Stage 2: MLLM-guided boosting
        semantic_prompt = self.mllm.describe(initial_image)
        refined_image = self.i2i_diffusion.refine(
            initial_image, 
            prompt=semantic_prompt
        )
        return refined_image
